Cowboy looks great. Almost loads everything.

So what's the question?

If I was not sitting on 30 lbs of Red Dot I'd be interested I guess.

Prices are reasonable. But I don't see the point of going to all the work of researching all my calibers and redoing all the loads for a couple of dollars a pound.

If I was starting out yeah, I would probably give clean shot a hard look.

Looking at the link in the website they show a pretty broad application for the powders, didn't see exact load data though. I like that broad application and it reminded me of Unique so I tried to find a picture of the kernal/flake/extruded type powder. The only picture I found is at their site and what they call flake looks pretty chunky...?
It makes me wonder how they meter in the throw? Cheaper powder, good...but if it's a problem in the throw...naaah!
The other note I saw was that they are currently working on data for reduced loads...that one gives me pause especially since they are targeting the cowboy loads.
Naah...I'll pass until there is some definite empirical data and extensive comments from the American handloaders.

Here's the relative burn rate comparison table for the German Lovex powders ... http://www.lhs-germany.de/en/powder/comparison-charts/

And here's their loading data for specific calibers ...

This question has been brought up a few times recently. I've researched Lovex powder on some European boards and they had nothing bad to say about it. If the price is right then buy it and try it.

I've been trying out their "Tac Rifle" powder in my AR.. I like it and it's relatively inexpensive compared with some others like H335, Accurate 2015 and Win 748. Though Powder Valley has been offering this line since the shortage. I've had a few people inquire about Clean Shot for loading pistol and I picked up some for my club to sell.

Hi Guys,

I have been using Shooters World Match rifle in my 223 Howa rifle & a heavy barreled 223 AR.

The powder shoots clean & in the case of the 1 in 12 twist Howa with 40 grain bullets, it's a true tack driver! The heavy barreled AR shoots well with 63 & 55 grain bullets!

Give it a try & Good luck.
