RWS R10 vs RWS Meisterkugeln
Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2013 4:52 pm
I have been meaning to carry out a comparison between RWS R10 and RWS Meisterkuglen for some time now.
After shooting a few of the UBC comps, this afternoon, I found I had some spare time.
Using my trusty Original Model 6G, my Skan chronograph, and my digital scales, I headed for the garage.
My results are purely based on a statistics exercise, at the moment, with no sample targets shot.
I randomly took 10 pellets from each tin, weighed them, put them through the chrono with the 6G, then recorded the results, which are as follows:-
Highest readings are shown in green, lowest in red.
Using correct statistics, I excluded the highest and lowest readings from the calculations.
The pellets side by side, with the R10 being on the left:-
At first glance they seem identical.
RWS R10
RWS Meisterkuglen
Looking more closely, however, the R10 is slightly thicker at the "shoulder", the end of the skirt taper, than the Meisterkuglen.
So, which is the better?
Well, to be perfectly honest, I don't think the differences are big enough to make any difference, as the tolerances probably exceed the ability of most shooters.
On paper, though, the R10 just sneaks it with a tighter weight and velocity variation.
Kind regards,
Phil
