Shooters World Precision Rifle

Specifications

Lovex equivalent S062 - an S-number, so single-base extruded rather than one of the double-base D-series ball powders. Shooters World's current site shortens the name to Precision; older packaging and press coverage use Precision Rifle. Narrow, short-cut extruded grain. Shooters World compares its temperature behavior to Varget and claims better velocity consistency at temperature extremes. 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.

Burn rate

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.
