5.6x57 RWS
Introduced by RWS in 1964. It was also adopted by Hirtenberger but discontinued by them in 1998. The cartridge is based on the 8x57 M88 case. It was based on the prototype developed by Munich gunsmith, Adam Schurk in the late 1930’s.
The 5.6×57mm was created by Rheinisch-Westfälische Sprengstoffwerke (RWS) in 1964. The calibre has a significant following among European sportsmen, and most European mass production rifle makers chamber several models of rifle for this cartridge. During the 1970-1990 period this cartridge was widely and successfully used for deer shooting.
With a factory-load velocity of 3,500 ft/s (1,100 m/s) with a 74-grain, cone-pointed bullet, it is approximately 100 ft/s (30 m/s) faster than the 220 Swift cartridge firing a bullet of equivalent weight. The larger case capacity means that Loader can produce 50-grain loads that, with velocities in excess of 4,100 ft/s (1,200 m/s), will outpace anything that can safely be achieved by the Swift. The 223 Winchester Super Short Magnum is a 21st-century cartridge that is comparable to the 5.6×57 mm.
