Load data , shooters world S O 62 powder

[Yooper003]

Need some help with loading data, is anyone loading with shooters world so62 powder? I just ordered 8# of this from Midway. They claim it is very close to VARGET, which I have used & like. With all the powder so hard to get right now & at the price I had to try it. I load 6.5, 7/08. 308, 45/70 , & 35 Whelen that is should be useable in if it is close to VARGET.

I have used Varget data for it with 308 and 7mm08 and found it to be very close to the same.

i replace my varget powder with shooter's world precision rifle powder in my nra silhouette match rifles (bolt and lever action). what i have found in 30-06, 308, 7-08, and 30-30 is i can drop the same weight of precision rifle as my old varget loads with not much different in the fps(+/- 30 fps). i did not have to change my sights adjustments much/very little/none at all. i like the price of all shooter's world powders and have started replacing my powders with shooter's world powders.

Thanks for the reply’s, I did go to the shooters world site & did get some data there also.one thing I noticed was they didn’t show it as even being usable in 45/70 though I have data for VARGET in this & had good luck with it. I think I am still going to try it in 45/70, just be very careful.

shooter's world buffalo rifle is good for 45-70 loads. buffalo rifle is all most the same as 5744. think h110 and 296 powder. at one time lovex (shooter's world) made 5744 for accurate arms powder company. lovex made most of the powders for accurate arms powder. when lovex lost the contract with accurate arms they took the accurate arms powders and gave them a new name under shooter's world. you can research and find good load data for shooter's world powders. i have also used accurate arms data with shooter's world powder and have never had any problems.

Make sure you check out the European data site. Lots more reloading info there.
