The RWS Sport Line Club .22 LR 40 gr LRN is precision rimfire target ammunition manufactured in Fürth-Stadeln, Germany. Designed as an entry point into the RWS Sport Line series, this standard-velocity cartridge delivers reliable ignition and shot-to-shot consistency for training, positional practice, and club-level competition. Each lead round nose projectile is coated in traditional wax lubricant to minimise barrel leading and preserve rifling across extended range sessions.

Key Features

• Consistent Subsonic Velocity: Delivers a standard muzzle velocity of 1,083 fps (330 m/s) and a muzzle energy of 105 ft·lb (142 Joules) from a 650 mm test barrel.
• Precision Lead Projectile: Features a heavily lubricated 40-grain solid lead round nose (LRN) bullet with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.132 for stable flight up to 50 metres.
• Broad Rimfire Compatibility: Engineered for reliable cycling in standard .22 LR chambered bolt-action, lever-action, and semi-automatic rifles, as well as target pistols.
• Quality Rimfire Brass: Consistent brass cases and primers maintain steady velocity at 50 m (~968 fps / 295 m/s) for predictable target groupings.

Who is the RWS Club .22 LR 40gr LRN for?

• Club-Level Sport Shooters — Requires reliable standard-velocity rimfire target ammunition producing 1,083 fps muzzle velocity to practise positional shooting and breathing control over 50-metre smallbore targets.
• Budget-Conscious Competitors — Provides 50 rounds per box of German-manufactured rimfire cartridges featuring a 40-grain wax-lubricated lead projectile with a 0.132 G1 ballistic coefficient for affordable match practice.
• Recreational Target Shooters and Plinkers — Delivers solid 40-grain lead performance with 105 ft·lb of muzzle energy for paper target training and short-range pest control where non-expanding rounds are appropriate.

Less suitable for: Elite international ISSF or benchrest competition demanding tightly sorted high-tier match ammunition, or long-range pest eradication where high-velocity hollow-point expanding projectiles are required for rapid terminal expansion.
