Rottweil Load Data
The origins of Pulverfabrik Rottweil am Neckar trace back to the 15th century, making it one of the oldest names in the ammunition industry. The brand name "Rottweil" is derived from the historical production site in the German city of the same name, where the company once manufactured its renowned shotshell cartridges.
Built on centuries of expertise, Rottweil products represent a perfect blend of traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering. Each cartridge is a precision-made component, where every element—from the powder and wad to the shot load—is carefully selected and calibrated to ensure optimal performance. Rottweil's hunting cartridges are known for their consistent ballistic behavior, tight shot patterns, and reliable impact, making them a trusted choice for seasoned hunters across generations. The iconic Waidmannsheil black paper case remains a hallmark of Rottweil’s commitment to quality and tradition.
Rottweil also excels in the field of sport shooting ammunition, offering meticulously engineered shotshell cartridges designed to deliver peak performance under even the most challenging conditions. These cartridges are built with the same attention to detail as their hunting counterparts, providing sports shooters with reliable and repeatable shot accuracy. Whether on the range or in competition, Rottweil’s sport shotshells offer the consistency and precision that serious shooters demand. Thanks to its technical excellence, rigorous quality control, and long-standing heritage, Rottweil continues to be a respected and dependable name in both hunting and clay target shooting communities worldwide.
