RWS' .308 WIN. RAP-X
RWS' .308 WIN. RAP-X ® 184-GRAIN LOAD DELIVERS DEEP PENETRATION Cartridge's Extraordinary Infiltration is Extremely Effective on Large and Heavy Game
Impressive penetration even with bone hits, nearly 100% residual weight retention and flexible application options are the hallmarks savvy hunters gain when they use the RWS .308 Win. RAP-X ® 184-grain load. The advantage of using this RWS load by hunters is particularly evident with shots hitting bone. Upon penetrating the game's body at extreme high velocity, the bullet tip's deformation process is reliably initiated by the new RWS RAP-X Tip that has been precision-engineered to deliver controlled energy transfer, yet remains mass stable. Upon entrance, the fast moving projectile delivers a high degree of shock to stop game in its tracks.
Ordinary soft point bullets fragment when hitting bone, causing a loss of residual energy needed for delivering shock or further penetration. In contrast, the RWS RAP-X bullet, with its precision-designed construction, remains essentially mass stable when hitting bone. This ensures the RWS RAP-X bullet will continue to go on to deliver controlled energy transfer, extremely deep penetration and a clean exit - even after heavy bone contact.
The RWS .308 Win. RAP-X 184-grain cartridge has also been optimized ballistically to deliver consistent performance at all shooting distances and on all types of game. The projectile employs a jacket wall that becomes thicker toward the base.
The special power bonding process of the lead core (with a precise hardness level) with the Tombak (an alloy of copper and zinc) jacket, ensure the RWS RAP-X bull achieves a residual weight of nearly 100% after firing. The bullet is also nickelplated which reduces barrel friction and fouling.
The RWS .308 Win. RAP-X 184-grain load races out of the muzzle at 2,540 fps with a bursting force of 2,636 ft./lbs. energy. At 100 yards, it loses little momentum at 2,307 fps and 2,174 ft./lbs. energy. Even at 300 yards, this RWS cartridge is still a solid performer with a swift 1,879 fps velocity and a crushing 1,442 ft./lbs. of energy.
