RWS 8x57JS HIT Short-Rifle 10.4g 160grs

RWS cartridges in caliber 8x57 JS

The 8x57 JS is a top-class cartridge for distances of up to around 180 m. It is ideal for hunting in the forest and as a driven hunt cartridge. Additionally, it is an excellent big game cartridge for Central European game. It is also very commonly used as a universal cartridge. With it, one typically experiences less hematoma formation compared to fast, weaker calibers.

The 8x57 JS was developed from the old military cartridge 8x57 J by increasing the bullet diameter from .318" to .323" (8.08 / 8.20 mm) and received an S in its designation. It was introduced in 1905 and quickly gained favor among hunters.

RWS Short Rifle cartridges in caliber 8x57 JS:

Short, handy barrels are increasingly gaining popularity among hunters. This trend is supported by the more frequent use of sound suppressors. Standard ammunition is designed for common barrel lengths of 600 mm. When firing standard ammunition from short barrels (420 mm to 550 mm), the following disadvantages become apparent: energy and velocity loss, limited effectiveness, pronounced muzzle flash, loud muzzle report, and increased wear on suppressors.

Therefore, RWS has developed the Short Rifle cartridge, which is specifically optimized for use from short barrels. In practice, this means shooting from short barrels without loss of performance.
