You're a bit slow with that one Muir. You found out about it on the glorious twelfth (12th of August 2022) and then find out that it's exactly the same guide that was first published in 2019. What happened did the pony express horse go lame or has Geronimo cut the telegraph wires again.

P.S. You colonials really must learn the correct way of writing the date.

Well they are, as the Shooter’s World powders are just rebranded lovex powders.

which is why we do not see the Shooters world brand of powder as it would be in competition with the lovex brand the manufactures.

As I understand the point @Muir is making, SW has updated its load tables - which for many grades benefits the powder user whether the name on the tin is 'Shooters World' or 'Lovex'.

Explosia's tables are of limited value to US shooters, and that means to us too, as they don't even include many cartridges that are widely used in the US or here.

A short translation list of grades common to the two countries under different names is:

SW 'Buffalo Rifle' = Lovex D060
SW 'Match Rifle' = Lovex D073.6

SW 'Precision' = Lovex S062
SW 'Long Rifle' = S065
SW '4350' = Lovex S070

So by looking at the SW pages, a far larger range of cartridges and cartridge/bullet loads data is available. A very useful facility to the UK and European handloader.

Cheers for the heads up, @Muir
