Heavy Pistol
Ballistic results for this propellant show it appropriate for magnum pistol applications, .300 Blackout with supersonic lightweight projectiles and some other specialty ammunition. It is similar in burn speed to Accurate No 9®, and has similar application as Alliant 2400, Hodgdon H110 or Winchester 296.
The superior ignition of this propellant permits less-than-full loading density. Therefore, it is not necessary to load “full power” loads with this propellant in order to achieve safe results. Shooters World tests this propellant with standard pistol primers, as well as magnum pistol primers. To date, we have found no evidence that Heavy Pistol requires a magnum primer for reliable ignition.
In comparison to other magnum pistol propellants, we find Heavy Pistol exceptionally clean, accurate with either cast or jacketed projectiles, and exhibiting low muzzle flash.
The density of Heavy Pistol is approximately 0.98 grams/cc. It contains a level of flash suppressant, which aids in visual comfort to the shooter. It’s spherical geometry assures highly consistent powder drops, when making rounds on a progressive loader.
Under the Lovex brand, this propellant is referred to as D037.2.
