The RWS Professional Line Rifle Match S .22 LR 40gr LRN delivers high-consistency rimfire performance engineered specifically for target disciplines. Manufactured in Germany, the "S" designation indicates a supersonic muzzle velocity profile developed for match rifles and sensitive barrels requiring extra projectile speed for stabilization. Featuring selected propellants, uniform priming, and a solid Lead Round Nose (LRN) projectile, this ammunition delivers tight shot-to-shot velocity consistency for repeatable accuracy at standard 50-metre and 100-metre match distances.

Key Features

• Supersonic Target Profile: Delivers a muzzle velocity of 1,132 fps (345 m/s) from standard 650 mm test barrels, providing the extra velocity required to stabilize projectiles in sensitive match barrels.
• Solid Lead Round Nose: Features a 40-grain solid lead projectile designed to cut clean holes in paper targets with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.132.
• Consistent Manufacturing: Produced under RWS Professional Line quality standards with uniform priming and propellant charges for minimized shot-to-shot velocity variance.
• Universal Compatibility: Standard 1.140 in (28.96 mm) overall length functions reliably across standard .22 LR bolt-action, lever-action, semi-automatic, and dedicated target match rifles.

Who is the RWS Rifle Match S 40gr LRN for?

• Precision paper target competitors — relies on a 40-grain Lead Round Nose projectile paired with a G1 ballistic coefficient of 0.132 to maintain predictable exterior ballistics and minimal velocity spread across 50-metre and 100-metre courses of fire.
• Club-level match shooters — utilizes the 1,132 fps muzzle velocity of this rimfire match ammunition to ensure reliable projectile stabilization in target barrels that require supersonic initial speeds.
• Position rifle trainees — benefits from the uniform priming and exact 40-grain bullet weight of this .22 LR ammunition to build positional consistency without erratic shot dispersion.

Less suitable for: Pest control or small-game hunting requiring rapid terminal expansion, which is better served by dedicated hollow-point hunting ammunition; or sound-suppressed shooting requiring velocities below 330 m/s, where standard subsonic rimfire target ammunition is better suited to avoid the supersonic crack.
