Lovex equivalent D073-04. Positioned as the more specialized sibling to Tactical Rifle: Tactical Rifle for very light plinking charges and wide bullet-weight coverage, AR-Plus for the mainstream service-bullet loads. Shooters World reports very small charge-to-charge variation through common volumetric measures. Shooters World deliberately keeps the Lovex designation on the label so European Lovex data and US SAAMI data can be cross-referenced; the name-to-number table is published on the Shooters World Lovex reloading-guide page.
Burn rate
Medium rifle range, in the general area of the common AR ball powders.

Verify the charge, not just the recipe
Good data gets you a safe starting point. It does not tell you what actually went into the case on stroke 340 — a bridged measure, a double charge, a squib. That is what an RCM Laser Powder Check is for.
