RWS 8x57 JS HIT Short Rifle 10.4 g 160 gr

Increasingly, short, handy barrels are gaining popularity among hunters. This trend is supported by the ever more frequent use of suppressors. Standard ammunition is designed for the common barrel lengths of 600 mm. The following disadvantages arise when firing standard ammunition from shorter barrels: energy and velocity loss, limited effectiveness, pronounced muzzle flash, loud muzzle report, and increased wear on suppressors. RWS has developed the Short Rifle cartridge, which is specifically optimized for use with short barrels. Shooting from short barrels without loss of performance.
