    A Nobel prize for ammunition

    ... This doesnt actually exist, but when

    Alfred Nobel created the Alfred Nobel & Co.

    in 1865 to produce the dynamite he

    had developed, the pioneering spirit and

    inventiveness he demonstrated were the

    keys to his success. The search for newways, the visions of new products and

    properties were part of the company phi-

    losophy from the very start. The Nobel Peace Prize created

    by Alfred Nobel, and awarded many times over to research-

    ers, artistic and socially engaged people, proves every year

    what importance aiming for improvements had, even in the

    personal life philosophy of the company

    founder. The company retained this spirit

    of research even after Nobels death in

    1896. In the spring of 2002, the ammu-

    nitions business of Dynamit Nobel was

    taken over by the Swiss technology groupRUAG. The newly created RUAG Ammo-

    tec GmbH can now take advantage of the

    chance to create new synergies and fur ther develop the latest

    ammunitions technology. It is no wonder that millions of hunt-

    ers and marksmen around the world place their trust in the

    traditional brands of RWS, Rottweil, Norma, HP and GECO.

    High quality products

    For more than a century now, ammuni-

    tion products have been manufactured

    at the Frth-Stadeln RUAG Ammotec

    GmbH factory. The company has hada lively history. In 1855, Heinrich Uten-

    doerffer received permission to set up

    a laboratory for the production of pr o-

    pellants. In 1889 Utendoerffer then sold his company, which

    was then still located in Nuremberg, in 1889 to the Rheinisch

    Westflische Sprengstoff-Actien-Gesellschaft (RWS) founded

    in 1886 in Troisdorf. After there were repeated problems in

    Nuremberg with regards to concession

    allocations, the factory was moved in

    1894 to todays Frth district of Stadeln.

    In 1971, the shot cartridge production,founded in Rottweil am Neckar and

    located for decades in Karlsruhe-Dur-

    lach, was moved to Frth-Stadeln. Since

    then, Rottweil shot cartridges for hunting and sport have been

    produced here together with another wide range of products

    with explosive characters. Production is carefully monitored

    so that you can shoot successfully and safely.

    The brands

    RWS started development of rust-free propel-

    lants back in 1901. Instead of the previously used

    potassium chlorate, which often caused rust for-

    mation and barrel erosion, the ammunitions spe-

    cialist tested various other substances such as e.g.

    barium nitrate. Increasing numbers of slow-rusting propel-

    lants came into use after 1910. The main breakthrough only

    came in 1918 once trizinate had been tested for use in igni-

    tion caps. Trizinate is very storage stable and has excellent

    ignition characteristics, but is also very insensitive.

    Only the addition of tetraze made trizinate sensi-

    tive enough for use. This propellant was patented

    in 1926, called SINOXID and is, as a focal inven-

    tion, now used around the world. The advantages

    of the SINOXID mixture are still valid today: Rust and erosion-

    free action, uniform action, high storage stability and reduc-

    tion of environmental pollution thanks to the mercury-free

    components.

    The foundation of the Rottweil powder factory on

    the Neckar goes back, according to old documents,

    to the 15th century. The name Rottweil became

    famous thanks firstly to the red Waidmannsheil

    shot cartridge and since 1921 to the current day thanks to

    the legendary black Waidmannsheil with its cardboard case.Rottweil shot cartridges have been made since 1971 in Frth-

    Stadeln under the control of the company RUAG Ammo-

    tec GmbH. Rottweil hunting and sport shot cartridges have

    always had a good reputation with regards to their quality and

    performance and are appreciated equally around

    the world by hunters and marksmen. Most of the

    Rottweil employees are themselves enthusiastic

    hunters and clay pigeon shooters. Their valuable

    experience is constantly added to the development process

    and has an influence on even the smallest details of the Rot-tweil shotgun cartridges. This personal engagement is a part

    of our company philosophy: At the moment of firing, hunters

    and marksmen can concentrate on the essentials and place

    their trust at all times in Rottweil shot cartridges.

    A balanced mixture

    The intermediate material (wad)

    The fibre wad, card wad, H-wad and plastic case plug all act

    separately or in combination as the intermediate wad mate-

    rial sealing the powder chamber away from the shot load in

    the cartridge. The wad is necessary to transfer the surge of

    combustion gases as force against the shot load. It also acts asan effective sealant against the escape of hot powder gases to

    the shot load. If this extreme heat acted directly

    on the lead shot load, it could cause lumps to

    form through the sticking together of shot grains.

    This would lead to a hit pattern with poor cov-

    erage and the clumped shot grains would also

    have a greater range, thus putting considerable

    areas around the target area in danger. The wad

    material must therefore be so elastic and plas-

    tic that it expands circularly when compressed

    by the pressure of the combustion gases. This

    ensures secure gas sealing behind the shot load

    both in the case, the chamber cone of the firing

    chamber and when passing through the barrel.

    In addition to gas sealing, it also effects reliable

    cleaning of the barrel walls, removing residues

    and deposits left by the previous shot. The plas-

    tic cup wad prevents the lead shot from being

    abraded in the barrel. The rear section acts like a

    collar seal during the shot; powder gases cannot

    therefore escape in that direction.

    The powder

    The smokeless nitrocellulose powder is an offensive combust-

    ing powder. When it is ignited, the powder charge is converted

    almost without smoke and without residues into a large gas

    volume which provides the shot with the necessary energy.

    The type and amount of powder is decisive in determining the

    gas pressure, to a large extent the speed and to some extent

    the shot pattern scatter, the recoil and the function of the car-

    tridge in self-loading shotguns.

    The shot charge

    The shot grains, made of a special lead alloy, are cast in ashot tower 43 m high. The molten lead drips from the top of

    the tower through a sieve-type container into a

    water container at the foot of the tower. The fall

    through the tower creates the ball shape of the

    shot. A mechanical sorting device automatically

    sorts out irregular and incorrectly dimensioned

    grain sizes. Rottweil shot cartridges use GECO-X

    hard shot which contains special alloy supple-

    ments and is surface treated. This almost com-

    pletely prevents deformation of the shot and

    lead deposits in the barrel. Lead shot has been

    increasingly criticised over the past years because

    of increasing environmental awareness. Rottweil

    has therefore concentrated in detail on alterna-

    tives to lead shot. It was however determined

    that currently there are no high-quality, techni-

    cal and cost effective replacements for lead shot

    apart from soft iron shot. Steel shot however

    has different ballistic properties and cannot be

    dealt with here in just a few sentences. We have

    therefore dedicated a separate chapter to thetopic of steel shot (see Page 14).

    The crimp

    In modern shot cartridges, the case mouth is crimped closed

    over the shot charge in a star crimp pattern, which reduces

    the length of the cartridge (in comparison to the roll crimp

    with cover wad that is only used infrequently).

    Quality decides

    The case

    Up until 1960, shot cartridges only came with

    cardboard cases. Since the increased industrial

    use of plastics in the 70s, completely non-

    swelling plastic cases have also been in use.

    However, some cartridges are still producedwith cardboard in order to counter increasingly

    significant environmental problems. The card-

    board case tube is produced w ith several, glued-

    together layers of a high-quality Kraft paper,

    perfectly calibrated and glazed, then lacquered

    as protection against moisture. The base plug

    in cardboard cases consists of a special card-

    board, perfectly dimensioned and produced by

    strongly compressing spirally wound cardboard

    strips. This stabilises the case floor, contains the propellant

    and seals the case to the rear during firing. The plastic case

    tube consists of polyethylene (PE). Polyethyl-

    ene is, according to technical regulations, not

    a hazardous substance and can therefore be

    disposed of in domestic waste/general waste.

    A thick-walled tube is produced and this tube

    is continuously bi-axially stretched in a specialsystem. This results in five-fold strengthen-

    ing of the output tube. The tube is pressed,

    together with the brass head, to form the car-

    tridge base by means of the base plug. The

    brass head is made of sheet steel and then

    brass-plated. The imprinted numbers indicate

    the calibre of the cartridge. The brass head in

    plastic cases replaces the card inlay thanks to

    its special shape. This results in both a solid fit

    of the primer and good sealing thanks to the high elasticity of

    the plastic material.

    The ignitionThe shot cartridge ignition is a centerfire igni-

    tion (also called: medium ignition) and is

    located in the ignition bell of the case floor.

    It is an anvil ignition because the ignition

    case contains the ignition cap with the very

    impact sensitive propellant and the anvil. The housing, anvil

    and ignition cap form a compact unit. The ignition can only

    work reliably when a perfect firing pin strikesdeeply enough into the centre of the ignition

    cap with sufficient energy. The propellant

    is pushed against the anvil by the firing pin

    impact where it ignites within a thousandth

    of a second. This energy is transferred in the

    form of a powerful flame through the flash hole and ignites

    the powder.

    In Germany, as in other C.I.P. * member states, shot cartridge

    manufacturers must comply with specific limits set out in the

    firing laws. This specifies that the average gas pressure in cali-

    bre 12 must not exceed a value

    of 740 bar, 780 bar for calibre 16

    and 820 bar for calibre 20. Withthe shot pattern, it is not the

    initial speed directly before the

    barrel mouth (V0) that is meas-

    ured, but the V2.5, i.e. the speed

    at 2.5 m distant from the barrel

    mouth. The flight speed of the

    shot grains is mainly dependent

    on the shot grain size. V2.5 meas-

    urements may vary considerably

    even if the initial speed is identi-

    cal, as shot with smaller diame-

    ters lose speed more rapidly due

    to the air resistance acting on the

    lower intrinsic weight of the shot.

    The total shot width of lead shot,

    i.e. the distance where it could

    endanger the area surrounding the target, can be roughly cal-

    culated as follows: Shot size x 100 = danger area in m.

    Example: 3 mm shot x 100 = 300 m. This is the greatest pos-

    sible hazard with a favourable firing angle. This hazard area is

    significantly lower for soft iron shot because of the lower spe-

    cific weight of the shot. Clumping

    shot however forms projectiles

    of greater weight and therefore,depending on the weight of the

    shot lumps, can endanger the

    surroundings at significantly

    greater distances. The huntsman

    shot firing distance using lead

    shot is between 35 and at the

    most 40 m depending on calibre

    and shot grain size. In addition,

    scattering is so great that there is

    not sufficient patterning. The pen-

    etration force and therefore the

    effective killing effect of the shot

    decreases with increasing shot

    distance and this occurs more

    rapidly, the smaller the shot is.

    The different calibres

    The calibre designation for shotguns comes from England and

    is internationally valid. The calibre is based on the number of

    uniformly round balls, cast from pure lead, that weigh pre-

    cisely one English pound (453.6 g). 16 uniformly sized balls

    are therefore known as calibre 16. The most common shot-

    gun calibres are 12, 16, 20, 28 and 36 (=.410). The calibredata and the manufacturer data are imprinted on the car-

    tridge base of shotgun cartridges. The case length is also g iven

    with the calibre information, e.g. calibre 16/70. The entire

    case length is defined, e.g. 65, 67.5, 70, 76 or 89 mm. Sealed

    cartridges are generally approx. 6 mm shorter with roll crimps

    and approx. 11 mm shorter for star crimps than the nomi-

    nal measurement given for case length. Therefore cartridges

    with longer cases can fit without problem before firing into

    shotguns with shorter firing chambers. When the case mouth

    opens or unfolds after firing, the chamber cone of a shorter

    firing chamber prevents complete opening of the case. Thiscauses a blockage of the shot load in the firing chamber cone

    and this can lead to an increase in gas pressure. In order to

    manufacture a single cartridge type for the chamber lengths

    65 and 70 mm, cartridges with a case length (average length)

    of 67.5 mm have been developed for 12, 16 and 20 calibres.

    In autumn 2004, I was invited to hunt at an

    extremely good pheasant shoot. I took my place with

    my Rottweil rifle 700 Sporting shotgun and with

    Rottweil Jagd braun Streu 2.7 mm in my bags.

    The driven pheasants came flying over very fast. I

    aimed and shot. The pheasants fell like stones from

    heaven. The greater patterning of the Rottweil

    Jagd braun Streu once again led me to an excellent

    hunting success.

    Engelbert Schulze-Heil, hunter

    Many of my greatest successes are due to the

    Rottweil Supertrap 24 HV. The Super trap 24

    HV is extremely fast. That allows optimal triggering

    on the pigeon. Missed hits that result from various

    forward allowances under different pigeon throwing

    distances and wind are reduced here to a minimum.

    The Rottweil Supertrap 24 HV achieves equally

    high speed and top patterning so that the pigeon

    safely shatters on the second shot. This is extremely

    important for mental strength during competitions. The

    excellent patterning is due to the homogenous shot in

    this super-fast trap cartridge. For these reasons, I put

    my trust in my Rottweil Supertrap 24 HV.

    Rottweil was the first shot cartridge manufacturer to have

    the idea of using the spreader device originally designed

    for clay pigeon shooting. This special variation of the Jagd

    braun is ideal for successful shooting over short ranges,

    e.g. forest hunting or crossing ducks. Greater patterning of

    the shot pattern is achieved with the spr eader device.

    THE SPECIAL QUALITIES AT A GLANCE:

    The spreader device effects a greater patterning of the

    shot pattern up to approx. 25 m.

    The hit probability is greater through the higher

    patterning and the venison loss is lower.

    These cartridges have less effect on the environment

    because of the degradable cardboard case and fibre

    wad.

    The case is also coated with impact-resistant paint that

    protects the cartridge against moisture. The cartridges

    can be loaded even in damp weather or rain.

    The H-wad optimally seals off the powder chamber. This

    ensures uniform combustion of the powder.

    Amongst shooters, this fast cartridge made a name for itself

    since its introduction years ago as a high performance (HV

    = High Velocity) cartridge for clay disc shooting. Despite its

    speed, the shot is optimally and uniformly distributed. The

    HV series is therefore particularly suited for all Olympicand other clay pigeon shooting disciplines

    THE SPECIAL QUALITIES AT A GLANCE:

    The Supertrap 24 HV is extremely fast at 420 m/s. Hit

    probability is increased enormously with this speed and

    the uniform patterning of the shot.

    The 20 mm brass head makes this cartridge particularlyhigh quality.

    The cup wad used is extremely stable and prevents the

    shot from wear in the barrel.

    I have often been in the situation during small game

    driven hunts when the beaters have suddenly called out

    about escaping pigs. Up to a firing distance of approx.

    50 m and complying with all safety measures (target

    trap!), I have put my trust for years in the Rottweil

    Brenneke Classic. It is recommended even for big objects

    due to the great cross-section area and high projectile

    mass. As my tests have proven, the Brenneke Classic

    fires correctly from most barrels. Game preservation is

    good and at short range a ball cartridge is just as good

    as a rifle cartridge. My more than 40 years of experi-

    ence with Rottweil Brenneke cartridges have always

    been positive.

    Werner Reb, hunting journalist, author

    (e.g. JagdwaffenPRAXIS, Die Bewegungsjagd)

    These special cartridges are produced in various shot

    diameters. Normally known as buckshot they are designed

    for specific hunting applications and are used in countries

    where rough shooting is allowed for cloven game. The

    use of buckshot can be appropriate especially at short

    range and under particular land conditions (e.g. thick

    bush).

    THE SPECIAL QUALITIES AT A GLANCE:

    This cartridge is designed for special hunting

    applications.

    The plastic case made of PE is extremely resistant to

    moisture.

    The H-wad optimally seals off the powder chamber. This

    ensures uniform combustion of the powder.

    The transparent case shows the contents at a glance and

    prevents the mistaken use of cartridges with buckshot.

    This classic hunting cartridge contains the classic slug with

    felt wad and can be used up to 50 m. The choke bore

    does not influence the precision of this cartridge so that it

    can be shot from all types of shotguns. This cartridge has

    been available for decades in the three main calibres andcase lengths of 67.5 mm (also for shotguns with 65 mm

    firing chambers) and 70 mm.

    THE SPECIAL QUALITIES AT A GLANCE:

    The externally angled, deformable lead ribs adapt to the

    different mouth shapes without damaging the barrels.

    The felt wad is permanently attached to the slug and

    stabilises the projectile ensuring optimal precision. The plastic case made of PE is extremely resistant to

    moisture.

    The transparent case shows the contents at a glance

    and prevents the mistaken use of car tridges with slug.

    The H-wad optimally seals off the powder chamber.

    This ensures uniform combustion of the powder.

    In comparison to conventional lead shot, soft iron shot has

    a disadvantage of a lower specific weight. Soft iron shot flies

    slower and not so far with 7.8 g/cm3 compared to 11.0 g/cm3

    for lead. In order to compensate the flight behaviour and the

    energy loss of soft iron shot compared to lead balls, the size

    of the soft iron shot must be selected around 2 shot num-bers higher for the same hunting purpose. In simplified terms:

    Instead of a shot cartridge with 2.7 mm (No. 6) lead shot, a

    shot cartridge with 3.2 mm (No. 4) soft iron shot must be

    used.

    How does soft iron shot behave in the barrel?

    The general rule for soft iron shot is: the smaller the shot, the

    better it is for the barrel!

    Cartridges up to 3.25 mm with soft iron shot and a V 2.5

    speed of maximum 400 m/s are, according to the C.I.P. * deci-

    sion, normal cartridges; they can therefore be used without

    reservations in normal firing shotguns.

    Shot over 3.25 mm require weapons that can withstand firing

    with higher pressures (1370 bar) and soft iron shot firing. The

    choke profile of the weapon must be at least 60 mm long andtaper off conically and uniformly. Tested weapons are marked

    with a lily.

    Shot above 4 mm diameter may only be fired from weapons

    with a throat of choke (max. 0.5 mm).

    The shot cups have special significance in soft iron shot car-

    tridges. In order to protect the barrel interior from the harder

    soft iron shot, the shot cups have thicker walls and are made

    of a significantly stronger material.

    The first discussions about lead shot,

    for and against, took place in the USA.

    But the question of lead shot for

    water game has also been a hot sub-

    ject for years in Europe. There is always

    the danger in intensively hunted shal-low water areas that bottom-feeding

    water game eats the lead shot and

    dies. But lead shot can also affect agricultural areas that are

    intensively hunted or clay pigeon shooting stands located in

    water protection areas or where shooting takes place near

    standing or flowing water. The leaders here are the Nether-

    lands and Denmark: Both countries now only permit soft iron

    shot cartridges. Other European countries are also discussing

    the avoidance of lead shot and are aiming in the coming years

    to stop the use of lead shot almost entirely. A joint recommen-

    dation by the Deutschen Jagdschutzverbandes and the Federal

    Ministries for consumer protection, nutrition, agriculture and

    forestry specifies complete avoidance of lead shot cartridges

    for hunting ducks on water and other waterfowl. In the mean-

    time, the states of Schleswig-Holstein, Niedersachsen, Nordr-

    hein-Westfalen und Baden-Wrttemberg have take up this

    recommendation and issued decrees

    limiting or even completely excluding

    the hunting of waterfowl and hunting

    on water or shallow waters with lead

    shot. It is foreseeable that this devel-

    opment will be taken up by furtherfederal states.

    There is only one alternative soft iron shot

    Long-term investigations and tests have shown that soft iron

    shot has no toxic effect and that it degrades naturally through

    oxidation. This means it has less effect on the environment

    when it is deposited in waters, land or plants. The danger of

    poisoning is also avoided for low-feeding ducks. Soft iron shot

    meets all demands set by the C.I.P. and the S.A.A.M.I. No other

    metal currently available as a substitute for lead can meet these

    requirements to the same extent.

    What is steel shot?

    The term steel shot is metallurgically seen incorrect, as it is a

    soft iron with a very low carbon component. In international eve-

    ryday language however, soft iron shot is known as Steel-Shot.

    What is the effect of soft iron

    shot?

    The soft iron shot retains its

    round form in comparison to

    lead shot due to the harder

    material characteristics. Thisresults in a tighter pattern,

    which has a shorter length

    expansion than lead shot pat-

    terns. Because of this, the area

    covered at the target is tighten-

    ing towards the centre.

    What calibres are soft iron shot available in?

    The conditions for producing cartridges are set up and

    issued by the C.I.P. (perma-

    nent international commis-

    sion for inspection of hand

    weapons). Decrees issued

    by the C.I.P. are immediately

    transferred into national lawby the C.I.P. member states.

    Rottweil offers a comprehen-

    sive range of soft iron shot-

    shells for hunting which is

    being extended bit by bit (in

    compliance with further C.I.P. decrees). When using soft

    iron shot cartridges, the suitability of the weapon used

    must be checked with the proofmark and, if in doubt, a

    specialist should be consulted.

    C.I.P. Commission internationale permanente pour

    lpreuve des armes feu portatives. Defines

    the dimensions of firing chambers, barrels and

    action distances for weapons, dimensions of

    cartridges and the maximum gas pressure

    values for all ammunition types, etc.

    Clump formation Produced by the escape of hot powder gases

    (in lead shot) through the intermediate material into the

    shot charge. The direct heat effect on the

    shot charge leads to the welding together of

    shot grains, increasing the danger area and

    worsening patterning.

    Contact energy The contact energy is the kinetic or moving

    energy of the shot at the moment of contact

    with the target.

    Contact speed Speed at which the shot reaches the target.

    Covered hit field Term for the hit area in which sufficiently effec-

    tive hits are contained depending on the shot

    size and type of game.

    Cup wad Intermediate material. Seals the powder

    chamber in plastic shot cartridges from the

    shot charge and encloses the shot charge

    with a plastic cup that protects the shot from

    deformation and wear, and also the barrel

    from lead deposits.

    Density Specifies the relationship of the hit rate in the

    inner circle to the outer circle of the test targetbased on the surface unit. (Hit rate in inner

    circle x 3, divided by the hit rate in the outer

    circle). Together with coverage and speed, this

    determines the individual efficiency limit of the

    shotgun barrel.

    Distribution See Density / Hit percentage.

    Dud Cartridges that dont ignite after firing.

    Felt wad / Intermediate material, previously made with

    fibre wad animal hair (felt), today made with wood fibre

    (fibre). This seals the powder chamber in shot

    cartridges with a cardboard wad or H-wad from

    the shot charge and serves to uniformly eject

    the shot weight.

    Firing distance Hunting shot firing distance is at most 40 m,

    depending on calibre and shot grain size.

    Above this, scattering is so g reat that there is

    not sufficient coverage. The penetration force

    and therefore the effective killing effective of

    the shot decreases very rapidly with increasing

    shot distance. It depends greatly on the shot

    grain size, the ballistic data of the cartridge,

    the bore choke, etc. Soft iron shot has a lower

    specific weight. A distance of max. 35 m should

    not be exceeded in this case.

    Firing pin This hits the ignition cap, igniting the

    powder.

    Folded crimp The mouth end is folded together in a star

    shape over the shot (also star crimp).

    Gas pressure When the powder gas ignites, the pressure

    rises extremely rapidly due to the great heat

    development and acts in all directions, i.e. on

    the case, crimp, barrel wall and wad containing

    the shot charge or ball cartridge.

    High performance These are shot cartridges with soft iron shot

    cartridges which can only be used in shotguns proofed

    for steel shot cartridges.

    Hit percentage The number of hits in a 75 cm test area at

    35 m test distance in relationship to the total

    number of shot in the cartridge charge as a

    ratio.

    Particularly suitable /Suitable /Spreader cartridges for short-range

    Which shot cartridge is suitable for which game? Not an easy question! The general conditions that need to be taken intoaccount are often very different. These include the type of game, distance, calibre, choke bore, landscape conditions, etc. andthe personal preferences of the hunter. Even the hunting laws of individual countries differ and when using steelshot cartridges,different ballistics and greater energy losses must also be taken into account.*This is why the preferable pellet sizes listed in the table can only be recommendations and should not be used instead ofpersonal experience!

    Philosophy or science?

    * The general rule is: The size of steelshot must be selected approx. 2 shot numbers lower for the same hunting purpose. In simplified te rms: Instead of a shot

    cartridge with 2.7 mm (No. 6) lead shot, a shot cartridge with 3.2 mm (No. 4) steelshot must be used.
