Where can I get RWS Pistol Match (green box) ammo?

My stock of the faithful old RWS Target ammo is running low, and I'd like to resupply....and give the new ammo a try, as well.

Unfortunately, all I can find is RWS Target Rifle, the ultra-high end RWS stuff...and Eley. Nothing against Eley, but I've had good luck with RWS.

Does anybody in the USA carry the Target Pistol ammunition? TIA.

Suggest you call either Neal Johnson at 800-284-8671 or Homer at Champion's Choice 800-345-7179. They're both stocking dealers.

If they don't have what you want, they ought to be able to explain why you can't get it.

I've used RWS "target rifle" which I was told was actually their Target Pistol grade---the only reason for re-naming was to avoid some problems with "German law" ?????

Mike,

A few years ago I bought a half case of RWS Pistol Match .22 ammo (Green Box) from Arni Vitarbo. I wish I could get some more, but I haven't seen this for sale in the US for quite a few years.

Best Regards,
Slo cat

My experience in Aus is it is not what it used to be.
RWS Pistol match used to be nickel cased, now its not.
It also seems inconsistent, could be one batch of course.

Well seen cases of it at the factory so I suggest your source is most likely wrong. They also still have it on their web site too.

Interational Imports in Canada has RWS Pistol Match.
