Key Features:

Proven match‑grade pedigree

R10 Pistol pellets are built for top‑level sport, with material selection and production controls aimed at delivering maximum precision for competition use. Elite 10m shooters worldwide rely on R10 as a benchmark pellet when testing and tuning their match pistols.​

Light 7.0 grain wadcutter for pistol velocities

At approximately 7.0 grains (≈0.45 g), this pellet weight is tuned for 10m air‑pistol energy levels, giving stable flight and minimal recoil feel. The flat wadcutter nose creates clean, sharply punched holes in paper targets, which is ideal for ISSF‑style scoring at close range.​

4.49 mm head size for precise barrel fit

This variant uses a 4.49 mm head size, offering a snug but refined fit in many match pistol barrels and helping produce tight, uniform shot patterns. Consistent head diameter supports reliable engagement with the rifling, reducing flyers when your technique is solid.​

Tight tolerances for weight and shape

RWS maintains strict tolerances on pellet length, skirt form and weight across the R10 line, which contributes to small group sizes and predictable point of impact. This uniformity lets you focus on trigger control and sight picture, knowing that pellet variability is kept to a minimum.​

Ready for both training and matches

While designed as a full match pellet, RWS R10 Pistol is also an excellent choice for serious training blocks, control series and equipment checks before important competitions. One tin of 500 pellets covers multiple practice sessions or match days when used with a clear training plan.​

You can also explore the combined RWS R10 Rifle & Pistol pellets pack  if you train both events or want bulk tins for the season.​
