CASES
New practical packaging – new attractive prices
The case is the heart of the cartridge
Dimensional accuracy, safety and reloadability are only a few of the criteria that the conscientious reloader should demand from a case in order to achieve maximum performance. RWS cases offer all that and more. The tightest of tolerances, constant quality assurance during manufacture and the highest expectations from ourselves make RWS cases the best in the world. This is reflected in the large number of times a case can be reloaded. With RWS cases, reloading is not only fun but saves money as well.
The advantages of our new packaging at a glance:
Cardboard boxes with sliding drawers
Easier access to the cases, even when boxes are stacked atop one another
Product is protected by a perforated seal
Two fields for recording current load data
Caliber designation is visible even when boxes are stacked atop one another
Ruler with metric (cm) and Imperial (inch) scales
Table with conversion factors for converting metric data to Imperial data and vice versa
More comfort for reloaders
The premium quality of RWS cases is not only evident in the product itself but is also mirrored in its new packaging.
The advantages of RWS cases at a glance:
Easy and exact recalibration through soft brass at the case mouth
Perfect sealing and fit into the chamber due to flexible brass material
Maximum re-usability with consistent performance thanks to highest demands on raw material and an optimized forming and annealing process
Best precision of the cartridge as the lowest wall thickness tolerances allow consistent loading
Highest safety and reliable function through very hard brass at the base
Easy multiple priming possible due to the hard and undeformable material at the primer hole
Cases
Rifle cartridge cases must withstand extreme pressures of up to 7,000 bar and experts consider them to be the life insurance of the shooter. To maintain the highest levels of quality and safety we have developed a series of demanding quality control tests. At the beginning of the production process samples are taken from every batch, loaded and exposed to excessive stress tests:
• With 10 % overpressure in specially prepared test barrels with partially inadmissible headspaces of 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm. To simulate rifles that are still being used although possibly shot out.
• With 30 % overpressure in test barrels that are made according to CIP specifications. A case that passes this quality control is of special format. It is a RWS.
