Shooters World Powder

Hello,

I am trying to gather some information on Shooters World Powders? I’m looking to load for .308, .223 and the original 6X cartridge.

Thanks,
Cory
 
If you go to there home page on line. There is a download with load data for all of there powders. I'm not sure how to post a link, just search shooters world powder and it will come up. Wish I could be more help.
 
I’m currently using SW Match Rifle in my Aero M5E1 and so far I like it a lot. My load is 42.5gr at 2.810 w/168gr SMK & CCI34 primers which is well below the max of 46.0gr. I tested 42.0 to 45.5 and found better results at the low end. The powder meters so well in my Chargemaster 1500 that I haven’t had a single overthrow in just under 500 rounds loaded.
 
I have used it with very good results in my .223, 600 yd. loads and Hornady 75 grain Amax bullets. It also works very well in .308 loads with 175 gr. BTHP in my M1A, M1 Garand and DPMS Oracle LR.

The load data is virtually identical to AA2520 and my supplier states that it is the exact same powder.

The powder meters like a dream and is consistent from "throw to throw." The price, in my area, is very competitive and lower than other popular powders like IMR 4895 and 4064.
 
I plan to also try it in my M1 Garand with 150gr BTHP bullets. If anybody can give me an idea where they've started with a load, I would appreciate it. SW shows a starting load of 46.5gr specific to the M1 but it’s always nice to get some real world data as well.
