Shooters World Rifle
Shooters World Precision Rifle
A precision long-range powder for shooters chasing low velocity standard deviation at extended distance. Shooters World's own development work centered on 6.5 Creedmoor and 308 Winchester.
Lovex S062, single-base extruded, and marketed as a Varget-speed powder with better velocity consistency at temperature extremes - which is a pointed claim, since Varget's own reputation rests on exactly that. Development was done in 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Winchester. If the temperature behaviour holds in your rifle it is a genuine Varget substitute; verify it across a season rather than taking it on faith. The current site shortens the name to Precision, older cans read Precision Rifle.

Grain shape
Narrow, short-cut extruded stick - better through a measure than a full-length stick, still a stick, so weigh charges if you are chasing low deviation. Its flatter gas curve compared with a ball powder is part of why it holds velocity spread down at distance.
Why geometry decides burn rate more than chemistry does: Shape Is the Product.
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
Medium-slow rifle; Shooters World likens the burn rate to Hodgdon Varget.
