Default Question: RWS ammo

I recently came across this ammo in a bulk purchase and I am unfamiliar with it. Unable to find much info except that it appears to be "better" than average ammo used for just daily target practice. Can anyone share their thoughts?

Thanks

I've never shot any of their rimfire ammo but have shot K's in 380, 9mm and 45 with no problems.

My bet is that you'll be happy with it.

Have shot it in .22LR and it is good stuff. Don't shoot it often because it is hard to find and there are other options just as good on the market. NORMA TAC22 is about the same. Was easy to get, now supply has dried up.

The RWS .22 Magnum is good stuff, and should be more accurate than your standard rimfire ammo. It was premium ammo back in the 1990s, so I imagine it is worth a nice sum today.

RWS R50 is excellent rimfire ammo, little expensive but well worth it. It may not cycle in a semi auto but in a bolt action it's very good for the price.

Awesome ammo for 22mag. Most accurate ammo out of my 22 Automag and J frame S&W. There was a test done back in the 90's of different 22 magnum ammunition and RWS was more accurate and obtained higher velocity out of the others tested.
