    Shooters World powders?

    Does anyone have experience with Shooters World powders?

    A handful of people in some reloading groups have recommended them, but I'm leary. However, with the usual players being all dried up right now, it's very tempting to give it a shot.

    I'm specifically looking at Precision Rifle and Clean Shot - but any experience with their powders being shared would be appreciated.

      Midsouth, Grafs, Brownels, and Midway sell them. One of their biggest vendors is Midsouth.

        Only one I've used is Clean Shot in .380 loads. Couldn't find AA#2 at the time. Clean Shot is compared to Accurate Arms #2 and data is exactly the same as Accurate's for .380 acp loads Bought some Shooter's World Blackout for 300 BLK but haven't tested it yet.

          Yeah, it has a chart of what powder it compares to from the usual players, AA#2 was listed as well as Bullseye.

          Precision Rifle is compared to Varget.

            These are the Lovex powders out of Europe which have a pretty good rep. Just ordered a couple of different ones to compare against some Hodgons and Alliants. Worth the stretch for $ and availability if they work. Theres a half of hazmat out there for Midpoint which brings it down to $8.

                When I started reloading 300AAC Blackout, Lovex DO63 Blackout powder was recommended to me. It worked out really good for me when reloading heavy subsonic rounds. I've used it exclusively now for the past couple of years and also recommend it. Price point is very competitive and will probably try their other powders.

                  It’s also branded as Lovex. It’s great powder.

                    Awesome! Would you be willing to post your results?

                    Also, thank you to everyone else for the input. I think I'm gonna try out 8 lbs of Precision Rifle and 5 lbs of Clean Shot. Both powders should cover every caliber I shoot.

                      Clean Shot or AA#2 is a little fast for many calibers or bullet weights?

                          It has listed load data for 9mm and 45 ACP for 124 gr and 230 gr pills respectively, those are the only pistol calibers I personally load for. You can find the reloading data for the powders on Midsouth's web site.

                          I know both Midsouth and Grafs has it listed in stock.
