'Morning Gents
I discovered accuracy issues with some RWS cartridges, purchased a month ago.
A rifle I own, used to produce tight groups with a given factory ammo, now spread all over with the same brand and bullet.
I'm talking about RWS Evo, in my darling Sauer 8x68.
Everything else is tight, clean, and (apparently) ok. It could well be guilt of me or (orror) the optic, a Swar Z6i, but the fact is, since I switched from the old lot to this new one, everything changed.
To say : 7" even 8" groups at 200 mt, when it usually printed +/- 2" at the same distance.
I know of a couple friends of mine that have accuracy/consistency problems with another top quality European factory ammo in different calibers.
They support the opinion that in this time of difficult-to-find-everything, even top brands are reducing quality.
Don't know.
Sure, I will try other different brands/bulltes, but I am so disappointed, as those RWS used to do wonderfully in my rifle.
Any experience or opinion?
