Developed in close cooperation with competitive shooters, the RWS Pistol Match .22 LR 40gr 1082fps LRN Rimfire Ammo is a purpose-built round for serious pistol sport disciplines. Part of the RWS Premium Line, this load has been specifically tuned for handgun use, delivering a moderate standard velocity of 1082 fps (330 m/s) and a stable ballistic curve that suits the demands of precision pistol competition. The 40 gr (2.6 g) Lead Round Nose projectile produces 104 ft. lbs. (142 J) of muzzle energy from a 130mm reference barrel, offering consistent, repeatable performance across disciplines including standard pistol, rapid fire, and field pistol. Whether you're competing at club level or putting in structured training sessions, this is a load designed to perform reliably without hammering your scores or your arm.

RWS Pistol Match .22 LR 40gr 1082fps LRN Rimfire Ammo Key Features

• Calibre and Bullet Weight: Chambered in .22 LR with a 40 gr (2.6 g) Lead Round Nose (LRN) projectile, a configuration widely used in pistol sport shooting for its smooth feeding and consistent performance in semi-automatic and single-shot competition pistols.
• Standard Velocity: Muzzle velocity of 1082 fps (330 m/s) from a 130mm reference barrel places this firmly in the standard velocity category, which is a deliberate design choice for pistol sport disciplines where a stable, predictable trajectory matters more than raw speed.
• Muzzle Energy: 104 ft. lbs. (142 J) of muzzle energy delivers sufficient performance for target work without the excessive recoil impulse that can disrupt shot-to-shot consistency in rapid fire events.
• Ballistic Coefficient: A BC of 0.132 is appropriate for the short to medium distances typical of pistol competition, where a stable flight path and consistent point of impact are prioritised over long-range retention.
• Soft Shooting Development: Engineered to reduce strain on the arm muscles during extended training and competition sessions, making it a practical choice for high-round-count practice without compounding fatigue.
• RWS Premium Line: Manufactured to the quality standards of the RWS Premium Line, which places emphasis on lot-to-lot consistency, reliable priming, and tight tolerances across the production run.
• Competition and Training Suitability: Approved for use across standard pistol, rapid fire, and field pistol disciplines, and equally suitable for structured training sessions where repeatability and reliable functioning are essential.
• Pack Size: Comes in a 50-round pack, practical for both competition use and training sessions at the range.
  

The RWS Pistol Match is a well-considered round that delivers where it counts for licensed sport shooters competing in or training for pistol disciplines. The combination of consistent velocity, soft-shooting characteristics, and RWS premium manufacturing makes it a reliable choice for high-volume practice and match-day performance alike.
