D032-03

This propellant is a bulk form of Lovex D032 reloading propellant. Ballistic results for this propellant show it to be highly versatile, with low residue in a myriad of pistol cartridges. It has similar burn rate to Accurate® No. 2.

This propellant can be used in virtually all pistol cartridges. A spherical propellant, it meters through charge plates consistently and will feed with a high-speed loader with excellent flow. Loaders who desire to use this propellant in cartridges requiring a slow gas generation rate (9mm and .380 Auto and magnums for example) should understand that this propellant is optimized for .45 Auto and .38 SPL. Therefore, while this propellant will enable loaders to use one propellant for virtually all pistol calibers, this propellant will not achieve high velocities in 9mm, .380 Auto or magnum cartridges.

This propellant has also been initially evaluated in a 12 gauge, 1-ounce load. Judging by its results, it could perform in both a 1-ounce and 1-1/8 oz Handicap load. The below data is an estimate of ballistic performance in 12 gauge.

Ballistic load data is available here.

As with any propellant and load combination, a minor change to any of the components of the test load CAN result in significant shift in ballistic performance. This shift can cause unintended high pressures, and result in injury or death. Therefore, Shooters World LLC, nor the manufacturer of this propellant take no responsibility for the intentional or unintentional misuse of this product. The charge weights and results noted within are not recommended, either as a starting nor completed load. They are shown merely as an indication of potential performance in one test load, shot by CIP standards.

A warning has been issued to those that have acquired Lovex propellant not canisterized in Shooters World Powders containers. We cannot guarantee the safety, what the physical propellant is, nor can we assure that published load data will work. These propellants may have been tampered with, blended, repackaged, or exposed to high amounts of moisture and can be a hazard.
