Shooter world powder

[pitbull]

I have searched and can't find any details that are up to date. Has anyone shot the shooters world powder in 6br or anything similiar specifically the powder that is suppose to be same as varget

I got some a couple of years ago and built loads for 6.5 Creedmoor ... worked just fine, but switched back to Winchester StaBall when I was able to buy it again. I found it to be generally consistent, and usually available when nothing else was.

Kind of hate to talk about it as they are now kind of hard to find and going up in price.

Been using Precision and Match Rifle in BRA for years.

What was your reason to switch back?

I use it in 6BR and have for almost two years. Precision is very close to Varget and has shown excellent temperature stability. Shooters World has a website with a complete reloading guide and burn rate chart.
I know several guys that went to it when Varget his unobtanium pricing and availability. So many that now the Shooters World Powder line is in short supply as well.

To those that have used Shooters World Powder did you find the velocity to be close the other powders ( Hodgon, IMR, Winchester, etc) or slower. My experience with it was it shot good but velocity was lower.. Would like to hear your experience. Thanks

I found it to be very consistent on the target from day to day which is what matters to me

Consistent enough so as to not require “tuning” the charge at the range?

I found that identical load for my 06. with sw4350 to imr 4350 same point of impact

SW Lovex, Precision, and Match rifle powders are right up there.
I've had very good results with both.

I have used Precision Rifle in my 6br and 6.5x47L. It worked quite well. N140, varget and Precision Rifle are all very close in performance for me.

Precision has shot good enough in several cartridges that I've gotten rid of the little Varget I had left and it wont be back in my cabinet. If I cant get it, its of no use to me

It should still be tuned with the weather just like any powder has to be

I currently use Match Rifle in my 6br. 29.3 grains gets me ~2800 fps (28" barrel) with around 1/2 MOA accuracy with 107's.

Precision is my current power for 30/06 in my Garands. Good results with 155's so far. Also have loaded 169's in 308 with it and had good results. In 223 I've found I need to up the charge a bit to get the velocity I was looking for.

I'm in the process of testing Long Rifle with 208's in my 20" 308 AR. So far I've only run a ladder test with what may be a velocity node around 2300 fps with 43ish grains.

I use SWP in place of Varget in my 6.5 Creed. It works as expected, wonderfully.

 

[mudduck]

If you can find any it’s gunna be more expensive than varget. At least it is at PV

 

[Pyscodog]

I use the Match in a 223 and the 4350 in a 6 Creedmoor and it works great in both. But like said, its getting hard to find.

i bought an 8lb jug of it before the price increase. paid a sticker price of $166. bought it for a varget alternative. geeze, the SW has doubled in price now! so much for a cheap/available alternative.
i have yet to try it out but reviews look promising.
