Shooters World Buffalo Rifle

Specifications

Lovex equivalent D060; Shooters World's Lovex cross-reference table lists the D060-01 lot designation under the name Cowboy, and the 2018-era manual uses D060-01 for Buffalo Rifle. Short-cut, narrow extruded grain that still meters acceptably through a volumetric measure, and Shooters World highlights consistent ignition at very low loading density - the usual problem with reduced loads. Contains flash suppressant. 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.

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.
