.50 BMG Primer (Pack of 50)

The smallest component of the RWS cartridge sets world standards.

The sealing lacquer protects against moisture. The primer compound is a cleverly devised composition containing a primary explosive, a sensitizer, an oxidation agent and a reducing agent, and ensures a reliable, continuous combustion of the powder mass. The primers have innovative surface coatings that guarantee protection even from extreme climatic conditions. The shape and perfect seating of the anvil ensure reliable, fast ignition.

RWS primers are manufactured in a modern production plant using advance production techniques. Primer production processes include stamping and drawing out the cup, loading the primer compound,drying and pressing and finally fitting the anvil. We use the most modern optoelectronic test equipment to check for any deviations in the assembly and dimensional accuracy. Ignition sensitivity is adjusted so precisely that a deep and central blow from the firing pin will produce 100% ignition. By 1918 RWS had developed the now world famous mercury free Sinoxid technology based on the substances Trizinate and Tetrazene. Trizinate has excellent

storage properties and outstanding ignition characteristics and the addition of Tetrazene adjusts the ignition sensitivity of the primer. This results in a primer that offers excellent performance and functionality and a high level of handling safety. The latest primers with Super Clean Technology (Sintox) are insensitive to temperature changes and guarantee perfect performance and reliability even under extreme conditions, from -60 to +60 Celsius. As there is no lead in this primer there is no heavy metal pollution to affect the user or nearby range officers when used in indoor ranges.

Super Clean – tomorrow’s world standard.
