Ballistic results for Shooters World Blackout D063-02 Smokeless Gun Powder show it appropriate for both pistol and rifle cartridges that incorporate a near straight-walled cartridge

case. The propellant gas generation rate is appropriate for .300 Blackout, 7.62×39, .30-30, .22 Hornet, as well as many lever-action pistol and rifle cartridges where rapid transformation from powder to gas is desired. It is similar in burn speed to Accurate 1680.

This propellant is optimized for a broad range of heavy bullets for .300 Blackout, subsonic. Especially appropriate for 200+ grain bullets, the combination of charge weight, geometry and chemistry provide assurances of cycling in AR platforms. Despite its optimization for heavy bullets, it can launch lighter supersonic bullets in the .300 Blackout. However, loaders generally find superior results with supersonic projectiles, using SOCOM. A spherical propellant, it meters through charge plates consistently and will flow well in a high-speed loader. It contains a level of flash suppression, incorporated into the propellant.

Another advantage to Shooters World propellants is the long track record of these propellants. The Shooter’s World manufacturer has been making propellants since 1920. Many of these propellants are sold throughout Europe under the Lovex brand. The density of Blackout is approximately 1 gram/cc. It contains a level of flash suppressant. Its spherical geometry assures highly consistent powder drops when making rounds on a progressive loader. Under the Lovex

Shooters World SBR Socom D063-01 Smokeless Gun Powder has no reloading propellant equivalent. It is faster in burn speed than ACCURATE 1680 and slower in burn speed than Winchester 296 or Hodgdon H110. The propellant gas generation rate is appropriate for .300 Blackout, 7.62×39, straight-walled rifle cartridges, and especially .458 SOCOM, where rapid transformation from powder to gas is desired. SOCOM is quite adept as a SINGLE propellant for both .300 Blackout subsonic and supersonic applications. It has lower residue than 1680 in subsonic applications, and outperforms 296 in supersonic applications. Its performance with a 220 grain Sierra Match King for a subsonic load is perfect. But where it really shines is with a 150-grain FMJ or hunting bullet. Where other propellants leave the .300 Blackout anemic at best with a 150 grain bullet, SOCOM can be used to approach the velocity of a .30-30 Winchester with the same barrel length! The energy level of a 150 grain bullet at 2150 fps from a 16” barrel is quite impressive, given this small cartridge.

Due to its burn rate and density, there’s every indication is that this propellant will perform well with the larger magnum pistol family. Where “1680” is a bit too slow for the .500 S&W and like cartridges, the gas generation rate of SOCOM keeps up with the needs of the expansion ratios of these large magnum pistol bores and bullet sectional densities. The density of SOCOM is approximately 0.99 grams/cc. It contains a level of flash suppressant. Its spherical geometry assures highly consistent powder drops, when making rounds on a progressive loader. Under the Lovex brand, this propellant is referred to as D063.1

This propellant is a bulk form of Lovex D073.6 reloading propellant. It is similar in burn speed to Accurate 2520. It holds the broadest utility across all moderate rifle propellants. The propellant gas generation rate is appropriate for cartridges of the light to heavy sectional density .223 Remington and .308 Winchester. It can load the 55 grain .223 REM, as well as the 77 grain .223 REM. It loads the 150, 168 and 175 grain .308 Winchester, and loads all .30-30 combinations. It works in .30-06, in 7mm-08, and even in the .22-250. It does contain a level of flash suppression, incorporated into the propellant. A spherical propellant, it meters through charge plates consistently and will work in a high-speed loader with very good flow.

Warning About Smokeless Powder:

• Do not exceed the loads displayed in the reloaders guide
• Never mix any two powders regardless of type, brand, or source
• Never substitute any smokeless powder for Black Powder or any Black Powder substitute

Shooters World AR Plus D073-04 Smokeless Gun Powder is a bulk form of Lovex D073.4 reloading propellant. It is similar in burn speed to Accurate 2230. The propellant gas generation rate is appropriate for cartridges of the light to moderate sectional density .223 Remington and .308 Winchester cartridges. It costs slightly more to run this propellant in the above cartridges than D073-01. It does contain a level of flash suppression, incorporated into the propellant. A spherical propellant, it meters through charge plates consistently and will work in a high-speed loader with very good flow.
