Key Features:

Built for top‑sport air‑rifle shooting

R10 Match Rifle pellets are designed specifically for precision 10m rifle events, where tiny group size and shot‑to‑shot repeatability are critical. They are widely used by high‑level competitors as a reference pellet when testing rifles and setting up match kits.​

4.49 mm head for snug barrel engagement

This version uses a 4.49 mm head size, giving a slightly tighter engagement in many match rifle barrels compared to 4.50 mm pellets. That snug fit can help some rifles produce more consistent velocities and extremely compact groups when the barrel prefers a smaller head.​

8.2 grain weight for stable 10m trajectory

At around 8.2 grains (≈0.53 g), these pellets are optimised for 10m air‑rifle power levels, supporting a stable, predictable trajectory over the short indoor distance. The balanced weight and classic diabolo profile help minimise vertical stringing when your rifle is properly tuned.​

Wadcutter nose for sharp, readable holes

The flat wadcutter head punches crisp, round holes in paper targets so rings and inner‑10 shots are easy to see and score. Clear cutting is essential for competition scoring and for analysing group centres during serious training sessions.​

Premium manufacturing and quality control

R10 Match pellets are produced with tight tolerances in length, weight and diameter, backed by professional precision control during production. This “Premium Line” approach keeps patterns very uniform, giving you confidence that any changes on target are coming from technique or conditions, not pellet variability.​

If you want bulk tins for a full season of rifle and pistol events, you can also look at the RWS R10 Rifle & Pistol pack of 10 tins

Usage Tips for Best Results

• Test this 4.49 mm R10 against other head sizes or training pellets (like QYS Training 4.50 mm) in 5–10 shot groups to find the tightest pattern for your rifle.​
• Use proper 10m air rifle paper targets and a stable pellet catcher so you can clearly see ring cuts and group centres.
• Store tins flat with lids closed; avoid dropping or shaking them so skirts stay round and you preserve the match‑grade consistency you’re paying for.​
