SHOOTER'S WORLD powders

From Midsouth:
Patriot is roughly h335
Creed is roughly rl15
Both are ball powders. First I've heard of them. Even their website is lacking info.

Yes that's where I saw them too. I was just surprised at the prices considering what their other powders are.
Their ball powders are priced in line with the rest of the market. Their extruded powders are priced a *bit* higher than market - I saw Long Rifle 8lb. jugs priced at over $500 last week. Their Match Rifle powder is pretty good, very similar to 2520, without the schizophrenia.

I have been curious about their SO53 or SO60 in the 30BR with my 112 grn bullet
The burn rate seems right between or in the neighborhood of 4227 and N130.

I stopped using them because you can't get them anymore. I was getting Tactical Rifle for $11/lb before all the bat shit crazy happened. I was getting it from a commercial reloader. He has switched too as he can't get it anymore. They are ripping people off just like everyone else is doing. My guy was still making money at $11/lb.
This ^^^^
They are sold by Lovex in the UK but made by Exposia in the Czech republic. Explosia used to make many of the Accurate powders before they moved their line to the US. I had good luck with a few of them in my testing but most not so much

Wait. If a dealer was making money at $11/lb, then Shooters World was selling for less than $11/lb => it's the other retailers who are ripping people off, not Shooters World.

Unless you know, for certain, what a dealer paid for his stock, it's quite an accusation to accuse them of ripping someone off.
Dealers, especially during the pandemic, often bought through their non-standard channels/distributors, just to keep things on the shelf. If that had a higher associated cost, and they passed it through, the presence of the price increase to the customer doesn't mean you're being ripped off.
Here's one example. One of my local powder shops in VA bought out a failed shop in GA. He drove down to pick up the inventory. That yielded a total product cost that was much higher than usual, but he now had inventory.

Thats right, but it is Explosia not Exposia. Lovex is actually a brand name used by LHS a German powder distributor throughout Europe.
The Creed is a canister form of South Africa Rheinmetall-Denel bulk and canister propellant S341.
I'd like to get my hands on some of their SBR Socom powder.
