Yes, been around for bit now. I use their Buffalo bore which is equivalent to 5744 for half the price. They also have Reloader 7 equivalent (which i use alot of) but havent tried. Their powders are rebranded Lovex Powders from Czech. They have a good selection of everything to cover most of the bases.

loveruger, Spell check has a problem with the magazine you're referring to (Don't ask!). However, if you spell it as Hand Loader, it will show up correctly.
Havent tried Shootes World yet but I've been playing around with Vectan powders which so far seem to be working as well as other major brands for much less. Around $15 for 1.1lb (0.5 kg)
I have had good results with their Ultimate Pistol in most everything from 32 Long to 45 acp. I also use their Socom powder with many cast rifle loads.

i move over to shooter's world powder. i use their buffalo rifle in place of 5744, precision rifle in place of varget/4895, and clean shot in place of titegroup.
I use a lot of Clean Shot and Ultimate meters great and shoots clean no complaints here.
Hi All,
I have used their Match Rifle powder for 223. 308 &30-06 using jacked bullets. Shoots clean & as well as well as the more expensive powders.
Their published data at the site is limited. I'm sure it's close to the burning speed of other like powders.
Start low & be safe,

I am using sbr-socom and blackout and it is good powder and was priced better , will get more when needed .
Shooters World (Lovex) powders work very well for me and at a good price. I've used Auto Pistol, Buffalo Rifle and Blackout so far but they won't be the last. Gp
LoveRuger,
I've tried Shooters World (Lovex's) Blackout and Match Rifle powders. At popular prices they aren't half bad.
Do I plan to replenish my supply of those powders when the last bit is used up? Probably not. I simply didn't find them to be quite as "wonderful" as the hype and inter'web chatter seemed to indicate they supposed to be.
So, IMHO, they were okay, but really not all that much better than just okay.

I'll stick with the tried and true powders of my childhood.
Tried the clean shot & major powders .clean shot very similar to tite group & meters great. Tried major in my SBH 44 mag with the infamous 429421 "keith" bullet powder coated over 15.0 gr major had 4 holes out of 5 touching each other at just shy of 25 yards from the bench. Not too shabby for a 1978 SBH with unknown round count & $40 red dot sight !
