BR-5 WAS Available at Bartlets, Uses Unique Load Data

[PhilC]

The thread is old. I just got the powder last week.

Yep, I bought some a few months ago haven't had time to play with it - yet.

It's a lovex powder, d036.07 I believe. https://explosia.cz/app/uploads/2019...019_en_new.pdf if you want the br-2 or 5 data.

I was going to buy some a couple of months ago but had something come up. Went to look Saturday and it was out of stock.

I did find a pound of unique inthe powder cabinet so I can go for a while longer since I don't shoot trap anymore.

Same story here. It's time to play. I have basic stocks of the other powders I use, but replacing them is hit and miss. I should be able to use this across the bench from all my pistols to light rifle loads for 30-06 and 30-30. I'm just looking to see what others have done with it.

It was $150/six pounds and it has sold out. Been available for months, now no more.

There is still some 7383, like my buddy said..."It's all the same stuff, you don't need that many kinds of powder." Thankfully he didn't reload.

I'm gonna try to breathe a little life to this thread...having picked up 7# from Jeff Bartlett. Multra, you think it is Lovex 36.07? I've compared Bartlett's data to both the Shooter's World and Lovex guides and they don't match. Anyone else have experience with this powder?

I use it in 44 Magnum. Loaded 8.5 grains of Unique behind a 429431 Lyman bullet then ran out of Unique and replaced it with 9.5 grains of BR-5. Can't tell any difference in the loads. Have not used it in 9MM as I still have plenty of TightGroup.

I'm gonna start working up some loads based on what I've found from others who have posted and the data provided by Jeff Bartlett. I'll start with 9mm first and move on to .40 and .45. I appreciate your comment.
