Shooters World Rifle
Shooters World SW4350
A long-range and magnum rifle powder. Shooters World positions it for cases where faster 4350-type powders cannot fill the case adequately, and for larger magnums that want something slower still.

Lovex equivalent S070 (S070-05 in the older manual) - single-base, described as tubular extruded with good volumetric flow. 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.
