Anyone out there using RWS ammo on plains game or in Europe?

Opinions on bullets and overall quality welcome.

Used RWS in 7mmRM in a David Lloyd rifle. It suited the barrel better than Federal and Remington and was clearly more accurate. Can't recall the name of the bullet but it delivered good expansion in Red Deer.

I use RWS whenever I fall into a good deal on it. I cant say enough good about it for factory loaded ammo. I have used it on everything from culling pigs with 243 Win to large game in Africa with the larger bores. My favourite being the 30 calibers particularly 300wm. All shoot very accurately and have good bullet weight retention. I dont remember the bullets nor much about the 375 or 458 rounds save they knocked everything I hit into the dirt. I think the brass is much better than the majority of the stuff here. Very consistant thickness even after being fire a couple times.

Agree with Mike. It is a quality product and I have used T mantels in my 9.3 and .404

I use Cone Points in 6.5x57, TIG in 7x64 and 308, TUG and H-Mantles in 30/06 and 9.3x62. I find they work great on all but Buffalo and obviously Ele.
Most work with a hard penetrating rear portion (approx three quarters) with the front section soft with cutting shrapnel.

RWS makes great ammo.

I would stay away from any Hirtenberger ammo though.

It is bloody awful, and loaded far too hot for my liking.

I use the RWS ammo for my 22LR - I reload for my centerfires. The 22 ammo is excelent quality - Would suspect the CF is too.

Hello,

For me, the best factory ammunition! I have used it for big Red Deer and Wild Boar. In 7x57, 7x64 and .308 W. In both 7 mms used the H-Mantle and TIG. Prefering the H-Mantle above anything else!! And TUG in .308 great bullet also!
