Shooters Worlds Clean shot for 9mm

[flytyer232]

Has anyone ever used Shooters World Clean shot for 9mm loads? I am looking to reload 115 or 124 FMJs, and i recently came across this stuff at my local gun shop. They have it on sale for $74 for 5 pounds, and they only have the 5 pound size....

Anyways it appears to be a good ball powder, on the cheap..

ljnowell is a bullseye match shooter and used Accurate No. 2 loads to win first place in his league last year - http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=780168

And in this thread compared Shooters World Clean Shot/Lovex D032 to Accurate No. 2 - http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=796752&highlight=shooters+world+clean+shot

This is from Shooters World online Lovex load data - http://www.shootersworldsc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/LOVEX-LOAD-DATA.pdf

D032 - A fast burning, low density, double base, ball propellant similar
to Accurate No. 2

I would suggest use of Lovex load data for Clean Shot/D032 instead of No. 2 load data.

Second. I got a one pound bottle of it and I don't have much left. It's a good powder. But I agree, follow lovex's charts.

^^^ +1.

I have worked up a few loads with the "Auto Pistol" from SW, (Lovex D036) and used the Lovex load data. My results were very close to the Lovex data.

I like the D036 enough that I will be looking for the "Clean Shot" D032 at the local gun show this weekend.

If it were me, and I had the need to buy 5 lbs of powder close to AA#2 in performance, I would not hesitate to by 5 lbs of Clean Shot for that price!!

It's good stuff. Local had it for 25/lb. Said it had been sitting there for months. Picked it up along with my first lb of Tite Group and was happily surprised at it. I'm testing it in 12 ga now. Couldn't complain for 20 bucks (still ask him to discount it for me).
