Shooter's World/Lovex

I believe they are European like Norma and Vv. I have seen that lovex is a manufacturer shooters world may just be a distributor like Hogden.

DO32-02 is Clean Shot. It's nearly identical to Accurate Arms AA#2 powder. The same data on Accurate's site and Shooter's Worlds site exactly for Clean Shot. Looks very much like AA#2 and my results with Clean Shot is the same as AA#2 in .380 acp.

I concur. I’ve used a bit of clean shot and it gives the same results as AA#2 over the chronograph in my experience. Same weights produce essentially the same velocities.
Good powder. Too bad it’s not as cheap as it was initially!

They make good powders! Auto Pistol is pretty much the same as Accurate #5, Major Pistol same as Accurate #7, and Heavy Pistol same as Accurate #9. Their Ultimate Pistol is about the same speed as Unique, but very different as it's ball, not flake powder. Super consistent. Made by Lovex in the Czech Republic.

I am liking their 4350 very much.

AA#2 used to be what Clean Shot is now.

I'm using Heavy Pistol in the 300 Blackout and it's a great powder.

My one gripe is it's a VERY fine powder and it leaks out of my Dillon powder measures.

shooter's world powder is made by lovex. lovex made Accurate powder for years. i started using shooter's world powder because their prices are the lowest these days.

I’m using Tactical Rifle in lieu of TAC and H335. Not exactly, but very close. (Like lot-to-lot variations). Good powder.

Also, Match Rifle, which is, or is quite close to Acc2520. Also, very good. I’m using instead of BLC2 or H4895 which were unobtainable at time I needed powder. The recommended 46.5gr w/150gr bullet Garand load, is as good as it is claimed.

Plan to get some Precision Rifle which is possibly better than 4064, H4895, or Varget.
I’m shooting a lot of mil-surps, Garands, ect.

Prices are especially better. I purchased mine from Grafs.

We say better, but what does that mean. For most of us that means repeatable better accuracy. If your comparing how well it meters, that is a preference and that specifically needs to be said. Some people are all on the temprature stability kick and I have seen no testing of any kind to say these powders are in any way stable. Why are they better.

I have used a number of their powders and am happy with results. They were clean burning, metered well and accurate. These were both handgun and rifle powders. Best wishes

I have several large jugs of Clean shot. It’s AA#2. 38 spcl powder. I also use it at 8 gr in 45 colt.

Why better?

Lovex and ShootersWorld claim lower extreme spreads and sd’s for Precision Rifle.
Certainly, Precision Rifle is cheaper, and is actually available...

Personally, I’ve never been especially fond of Varget. Mostly I used it in .223, but couldn’t get either accuracy or velocity claims. Never could get close to charge weights claimed by Hodgdon to fit in my brass.

I'm 76 and Lovex has been around longer than me. I use the Lovex Tactical powder on my 223 as it performs just as well as 335 and it periodically is on sale for less.

I have used Auto Pistol and the results were very close to AA#5 (as one would expect) but I had lower standard deviations with Auto Pistol compared to AA#5.
