RWS Bullets

Very few US reloaders are familiar with European made bullets. Controlled expansion bullets were being made in Europe nearly 50 years before the Nosler Partition bullet came about.

Want good expansion and an exit hole too: Look at the RWS Twin-Core.

Been there, done that. You are right, RWS makes very fine bullets. I used to have a 9.3mm rifle years back, and RWS and Brenneke were the only 9.3mm bullets I could find at that time. The H-Mantle bullets are a fantastic bullet, been around since the 1960s. However, they are designed to fragment at the mantle, and are tremendously expensive, as you would expect from having to pay for shipping copper and lead 7,000 miles. And Noslers have been around since the 1950s.
