Anyone used this powder from shooters world?
SW4350 is the slowest of all the
4350 derivatives. As such, it has
broad capabilities in moderate
calibers where other 4350
derivatives cannot reach 100%
loading density. It also has
enhanced capabilities in larger
magnum calibers, where other
4350 derivatives cannot reach.
If you seek accuracy, one of the
keys is to find a propellant that can “fill the case and seek maximum velocity”.
Several shooters have found this relationship to be true with SW4350, and are
impressed with its performance. But please understand, SW4350 is not exactly
the same propellant as H4350. Ranked in fastest to slowest of the 4350 derivatives: H4350, IMR4350, Accurate 4350, SW4350.
SW4350 has tremendous capabilities across virtually all long-range class and
magnum class centerfire rifle ammunition.
Despite SW4350 being an extruded propellant, we have found good flow characteristics through a volumetric powder dump. The grain is narrow, and cut short.
While some reloaders insist on weighing each powder charge, we did not find
that extra time necessary when loading for accuracy with this propellant.
Another advantage to Shooters World propellants is the long track record of
these propellants. Our manufacturer has been making propellants since 1920.
In addition to Shooters World reload data directly accessible from our home
page, many of our propellants are sold throughout Europe under the Lovex
brand. The Lovex published reloading manual is available on-line, and also
linked directly from the
www.shootersworldpowders.com website home page.
There, you can find additional data for such calibers as 7mm Remington Magnum, .243 Winchester, .270 Winchester, 6.5x55 Swedish, 8mm Mauser, and
even .338 Lapua Magnum.
The density of SW4350 is approximately 0.9 grams/cc. It contains a level of
flash suppressant. Its extruded geometry is of a narrow diameter, and cut short.
Therefore, its drop consistency through a volumetric charger is quite consistent
for an extruded propellant.
Under the Lovex brand, this propellant is referred to as S070.
