Smokeless Powder

Buffalo Rifle propellant has a burn rate optimized for straight walled rifle cartridges, as well as reduced recoil/reduced energy loads in virtually all rifle applications. Chambers where the bullet diameter is virtually the same as the internal case diameter, such as .38-55 Winchester, .45-70 Gov’t and numerous Schuetzen calibers, will benefit from Buffalo Rifle.

Whether the loader desires to shoot cast lead or standard jacketed bullets, this propellant can greatly expand the utility of a hunting rifle. Now, a .30-06 can be used for plinking with the kids! Or a .243 for rabbit hunting! Safe, reduced loads can be economically loaded and enjoyed by the whole family. The surface of this propellant holds no deterrent or burn rate modifier. Therefore, it ignites quite consistently with low loading densities in standard rifle loads. This same ignition characteristic aids accuracy when used with cast lead bullets and long throated chambers.

Despite Buffalo Rifle being an extruded propellant, it provides good flow characteristics through a volumetric powder dump. The grain is narrow, and cut short. While some reloaders insist on weighing each powder charge, that extra time is generally not necessary when loading this propellant.

This propellant is a bulk form of Lovex D032 reloading propellant. Ballistic results for this propellant show it to be highly versatile, with low residue in a myriad of pistol cartridges. It has similar burn rate to Accurate No. 2. This propellant can be used in virtually all pistol cartridges. A spherical propellant, it meters through charge plates consistently and will feed with a high-speed loader with excellent flow. Loaders who desire to use this propellant in cartridges requiring a slow gas generation rate (9mm and .380 Auto and magnums for example) should understand that this propellant is optimized for .45 Auto and .38 SPL. Therefore, while this propellant will enable loaders to use one propellant for virtually all pistol calibers, this propellant will not achieve high velocities in 9mm, .380 Auto or magnum cartridges. This propellant has also been initially evaluated in a 12 gauge, 1-ounce load. Judging by its results, it could perform in both a 1-ounce and 1-1/8 oz Handicap load.

This propellant is a canister form of Lovex D037.1 reloading propellant. It is similar in burn speed to ACCURATE No. 7, 2400 and Blue Dot. The gas generation rate is appropriate for cartridges of the 9mm and 10mm Auto, .357 SIG, .45 Colt, .410 Shot shell, light-bullet magnum pistol loads, and other high intensity pistol cartridges. It is especially good for short barrel magnum revolvers, where complete combustion, high velocity and low muzzle flash are desired. It is also possible to achieve extremely high velocities in 9mm Luger with Major Pistol.

A spherical propellant, Major Pistol meters through charge plates consistently and will work with high-speed loaders with very good flow. It does contain a level of flash suppressant.

Warning About Smokeless Powder:

• Do not exceed the loads displayed in the reloaders guide
• Never mix any two powders regardless of type, brand, or source
• Never substitute any smokeless powder for Black Powder or any Black Powder substitute

This propellant is a bulk form of Lovex D073.6 reloading propellant. It is similar in burn speed to Accurate 2520. It holds the broadest utility across all moderate rifle propellants. The propellant gas generation rate is appropriate for cartridges of the light to heavy sectional density .223 Remington and .308 Winchester. It can load the 55 grain .223 REM, as well as the 77 grain .223 REM. It loads the 150, 168 and 175 grain .308 Winchester, and loads all .30-30 combinations. It works in .30-06, in 7mm-08, and even in the .22-250. It does contain a level of flash suppression, incorporated into the propellant. A spherical propellant, it meters through charge plates consistently and will work in a high-speed loader with very good flow.

Shooters World SW4350 is the slowest of all the 4350 derivatives. As such, it has broad capabilities in moderate calibers where other 4350 derivatives cannot reach 100% loading density. It also has enhanced capabilities in larger magnum calibers, where other 4350 derivatives cannot reach. If you seek accuracy, one of the keys is to find a propellant that can “fill the case and seek maximum velocity”. Several shooters have found this relationship to be true with SW4350, and are impressed with its performance. But please understand, SW4350 is not exactly the same propellant as H4350. Ranked in fastest to slowest of the 4350 derivatives: H4350, IMR4350, Accurate 4350, SW4350.

SW4350 has tremendous capabilities across virtually all long-range class and magnum class centerfire rifle ammunition. Despite SW4350 being an extruded propellant, it exhibits good flow characteristics through a volumetric powder dump. The grain is narrow, and cut short. The density of SW4350 is approximately 0.9 grams/cc. It contains a level of flash suppressant. Its extruded geometry is of a narrow diameter, and cut short. Therefore, its drop consistency through a volumetric charger is quite consistent for an extruded propellant. Under the Lovex brand, this propellant is referred to as S070.

Another advantage to Shooters World propellants is the long track record of these propellants. The Shooter’s World manufacturer has been making propellants since 1920. Many of these propellants are sold throughout Europe under the Lovex brand.

Tactical Rifle D073-08 has been a secret of OEM loaders for some time. It is the cleanest .223 and .308 spherical propellant on the market, and a superior alternative to H335 and BLC(2). Optimized for 55 grain .223 Remington, and 147/150 grain .308 Winchester, it also provides sub-minute accuracy with numerous match loads. It is extremely low in residue, muzzle smoke, and is flash suppressed. The propellant flows like water through a volumetric charger. Loaders will see no more than 1/10th of a grain of variation in charge weight from a powder drop. This has been tested in Dillon, RCBS, Lee, Hornady, Hollywood, and Lyman chargers. Additionally, this propellant enables loaders to meet the velocity and pressure specifications of popular rounds for AR and M1A platforms. It provides ample gas pressure and volume for reliable cycling of these operating mechanisms.
