The RWS Professional Line Rifle Match .22 LR (Model: 2134225) is precision-engineered rimfire ammunition designed for match training and smallbore competition. Manufactured in Germany, this ammunition features a 40-grain Lead Round Nose (LRN) projectile paired with a clean-burning propellant and brass casing. Tuned to a standard velocity of approximately 1,082–1,083 fps (330 m/s), it remains beneath the transonic threshold to prevent destabilising buffeting, delivering stable flight dynamics and tight groupings across standard 50-metre match distances.

Key Features

• Subsonic Velocity Tuning: Operates at 1,082–1,083 fps (330 m/s) to ensure stable, subsonic flight downrange without transonic turbulence.
• Match-Grade Consistency: Developed as part of the RWS Professional Line to provide repeatable ignition, consistent muzzle energy of 104–105 ft-lbs (141–142 J), and uniform bullet seating.
• Precision Lead Projectile: Features a solid 40-grain Lead Round Nose bullet coated with standard match wax lubricant for smooth barrel engagement.
• Clean-Burning Propellant: Powder charge is specifically formulated for target rifle barrel lengths to minimise fouling during extended strings of fire.

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

• 50-metre benchrest and smallbore target shooters — relies on standard-velocity rimfire match ammunition tuned to 1,082–1,083 fps to avoid transonic disturbance across 50-metre competition targets.
• Club-level rifle marksmen — provides 50 cartridges of uniform 40-grain LRN loads per box to maintain tight, repeatable shot strings during precision practice and club matches.

Less suitable for: Long-range rimfire shooting at 150–200+ metres or high-wind environments, which require heavier specialised rimfire match loads or centerfire calibres; medium pest control or hunting requiring dynamic bullet expansion, which is better served by hollow-point high-velocity ammunition.
