Lovex equivalent D037-02. Shooters World places its burn speed alongside Accurate No. 9, Alliant 2400, Hodgdon H110 and Winchester 296, but notes it does not demand full-power charges the way some of those do, and works with standard or magnum pistol primers. Burns clean with low muzzle flash. 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.
