RWS rifle cartridges 8x57JS 160 gr HIT GREEN

The current RWS HIT bullet with the famous RWS HIT Matrix in caliber 8x57JS was developed as a lead-free alternative primarily for hunters who prefer fragment-free bullets. Despite the quick response of our new lead-free bullet, the expanded residual body remains mass-stable. This guarantees high penetration and safe exit even at very high impact velocities and/or large target resistances - e.g. in bone hits. Especially with larger game, the superior properties of this bullet come into play. Unlike fragmentation bullets, the lead-free and mass-stable RWS HIT bullet releases its energy exclusively through 100% fragment-free expansion in the game body. The result: optimal game meat utilization.

As expected from RWS rifle cartridges, the new HIT also combines the proven brand advantages: reliably effective, precise, barrel-friendly, and innovative.

RWS HIT Matrix - our innovative bullet construction:

RWS TC-Tip (bullet tip with 2 hollow chambers)
The innovative bullet tip of the RWS HIT fulfills two important functions:

Through its streamlined shape, we achieve an improved BC value and a stretched trajectory. This means: high bullet speed and high impact energy.
Through the interaction of the two hollow chambers, a lightning-fast expansion of the entire bullet front is achieved. This guarantees a high shock effect and gives you the assurance that the shot game is quickly brought to the ground.

RWS ACC (bullet construction with a hollow tip)
The Active-Crater-Cavity (ACC) optimally absorbs the initial deformation triggered by the bullet tip (TC-Tip) and actively converts it into an even further accelerated deformation process of the bullet. The result: a perfect, fragment-free expansion with predefined flag formation directly upon impact with the game body.
