ROTTWEIL EXACT GREEN with Lead-Free Slug
Fürth, Germany. In a few regions of Europe, legislation is meanwhile stipulating not only lead- free rifle ammunition but also lead-free slugs. However, this is not the only reason why ROTTWEIL is launching a lead-free slug on the market at IWA 2020. The new EXACT GREEN shotgun shell delivers up to 30% more power – in other words, comparable to shells with a slug containing lead.

Up to 30% more power with EXACT GREEN:
ROTTWEIL EXACT GREEN shot shells deliver more power than comparable Rottweil cartridges with a Brenneke lead slug. Thanks to the lower weight of the slug, EXACT GREEN shot shells can be loaded faster than the heavier lead slugs, without exceeding the safety- relevant maximum pressure of the shot shells. The high velocities made possible by this yield energy values that are up to 30% higher in comparison.
The new tin slug is offered in 2 loads: a 12/70 with regular gas pressure for standard shotguns and a 12/70 with a magnum load (max. 1050 bar) for shotguns with stronger firing.
The benefits of the new EXACT GREEN series at a glance:
. Up to 30% more power compared to similar loads with a Brenneke lead slug . Extremely high velocity: . 12/70 magnum: V 2.5 = 565 m/s . 12/70 standard: V 2.5 = 515 m/s . 25 g tin bullet with a green plastic rear section . Shotguns with a standard shot firing system are not necessary . Lower bullet weight at a higher velocity; this means: . Reduced lead factor with extremely flighty wild boars . Less bullet drop at greater shooting distances . Transparent case with a 20 mm bottom cap

ROTTWEIL is a quality brand of RUAG Ammotec GmbH
The brand name refers to the former production site of shotshell cartridges in the city of the same name located in Germany’s Black Forest region. According to old documents, the foundation of Pulverfabrik Rottweil am Neckar dates back to the 15th century. The brand name ROTTWEIL became famous thanks to the red Waidmannsheil shotgun shell and has remained so since 1921 down to the present day thanks to the legendary “black Waidmannsheil” with its paper case. Thanks to their excellent quality and performance, ROTTWEIL hunting and sport shot cartridges enjoy an exceptionally strong reputation and are equally esteemed by hunters and shooters alike.
