Anyone ever heard of or used "Shooters World Propellant"?

[AbitNutz]

Was pointed toward "Shooters World Propellant" by a Facebook post. I've never heard of it and their loading data is not what you could call...voluminous. What it is though is...in stock.

heard of it only know one person who has tried it and they complained even though sw's version of 4350 is supposed to be almost identical to h 4350 he said he never got the speeds or numbers he was looking for when compared to h 4350 I still want to try it for myself good luck to you if you do try it .

I have tried it and it wasn't bad. It definitely works. Some people try to say it's a direct equivalent of_____ but it's not. It might be close but not exact.

I've never had a problem with it at all. I only used about a pound of two of it and I would definitely buy more of it in the future if I was in need of powder. I only used one type but after using that I wouldn't hesitate to try the other flavors they offer.

I’ve used the Clean Shot for pistol, works great. The Tatical Rifle is as close to H335 as anything I’ve tried. The Blackout is a little slower than A1680 with higher ES in 300 subs. The Match Rifle is slower than either N140 or 8208XBR in .223 heavies. I’ve got some of the Precision Rifle which is their Varget substitute, but I’ve not had a chance to try it yet.

I use the match rifle but so far only for bulk FMJ blasting ammo. I’ve had no problems with it.

I built some 3-round ladder tests with SW4350 to compare with AC4350 and Winchester StaBall 6.5. The SW4350 grouped fine, but did not compare favorably with regard to SD or ES ... with the StaBall running best (by far) in my Tikka 6.5-CM rifle. I'll keep my 8 lbs of SW4350 and use it to load range ammo, but I probably won't use it for competition.

I tried a bottle of "Clean Shot" (D032) in 45 auto. Worked pretty much the same as Titegroup, 231 and Bullseye. I have never used any of their rifle powder though.

I've been using the Precision powder for my 6br for over a year.

a handful of other buddies have also starting using it. i have some match rifle for the .223 - haven't tried it yet but a buddy uses it and has great results

another friend has temp tested the precision powder (rounds in cooler, and rounds on hot hands) and only saw a 10fps spread in his dasher

I’ve started using match rifle recently in 223. It’s slower than what their data suggests, but meters well and is for range/bulk ammo at the moment so I’m not worrying about it. Have the 4350 and tactical rifle on the way, hopefully doing a little load work up with them as time and components allow, but with the shortages right now, my load work up is minimal as I’m sticking with my tried and true loads until I run out of something I can’t replace

From what I can gather, it's Czech made powder. I'm looking to find a powder that's suitable for magnum class calibers like the 300 RUM, 300 PRC, 338 Lapua and the like....since you have to be a veritable Sherlock Holmes to sniff out Retumbo, H1000 and RE25,33.

Powder is made by Lovex. I have some SW4350 on the bench but haven't used it yet. If it oerforms decently well and continues to be priced cheaper, then it will be a good option for me. Their stuff in the varget burn range has my interest as the price for that keeps climbing and availability locally is down.

Ive been using the precision for the past 2.5 years

Been using SW Precision Rifle in a 308, 45g with 175 SMK getting around 2730 fps with 26" barrel. SD of 9, groups as well or better than the Varget load I was using.

 

[JMGlasgow]

I have some Precision Rifle I'm trying with my 308 and Berger 155.5gr Fullbore bullets. Waiting on a new trigger for that rifle and better weather so I can go see how it does.

I hope this powder proves to be good. It seems to come in stock often and stay in stock longer.

Coincidentally, Handloader magazine's latest issue, April/May, features Shooters World's powder "buffalo Rifle" in their Powder Profile segment. They wrote:

"The burn rate of Buffalo Rifle places it a little slower than H-110/Winchester 296, pretty comparable to Accurate 5744 and Alliant 300-AP, and a little faster than H-4198 and IMR-4198."

They tested it in, 243, 30-06, 30-30, 38-55 and 45-70. So it looks like this is a pretty versatile powder.

I subscribe to Handloader and Rifle magazine digitally, so I get it immediately. Although I do miss the high quality print.
