As a result, the four handgun powders and seven long gun powders in this range of reload products will now be available in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Italy and the United Kingdom.

What’s more, after a successful début in 2014, the Reload Swiss RS® team is back at IWA&Outdoor Classics in Nuremberg again this year. From Friday 6 March to Monday 9 March 2015, visitors from all over the world will be attending Europe’s leading trade fair for sport shooting and hunting and can find out more about the Reload Swiss RS® range at Stand 447 in Hall 7.

From sport shooters to hunters, handguns to long guns, and for any discipline or application – Reload Swiss RS® provides the ideal propellant for individual handloading. Consistent quality and burn performance ensure precise, highly repeatable hits – even across the most varied weather conditions. The new RS12 handgun powder was launched on the market at the end of last year, while a further long gun powder currently in development is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2016.

Internationally renowned Nitrochemie Wimmis AG is a joint venture of Rheinmetall and RUAG that specialises in propellants.

The state-of-the-art production facilities meet exceptional standards for the safety of people and the environment. Constant quality assurance from production to packaging ensures uniform fabrication quality for the most demanding shooter requirements. Altogether, the result is excellent value for money and extreme accuracy.

A high-performance distribution network throughout Europe ensures reliable availability. Reload Swiss RS® products have already earned the confidence of some of the world’s top competitive shooters. High-profile users include Dominic Meier and Christine Burkhalter (world championship 2014 silver medallist) from Switzerland, Peter Heller, Sascha Back and Nils Nothnagel from Germany, Gerald Reiter from Austria, and leading British long-distance shooter Nigel Cole-Hawkins.
