Precision
This propellant has a burn rate and temperature sensitivity very similar to Hodgdon® VARGET. These characteristics and propellant density closely track with the same characteristics of VARGET.
However, our testing revealed that velocity standard deviation at both ambient and extreme temperatures out-performed that of VARGET. Those in the long-range game demand low velocity standard deviation, especially when they’re chasing group sizes beyond 1,000 yards. Precision’s ignition characteristics, which contribute to low velocity standard deviation, should benefit those seeking superior accuracy. In our tests from both a 6.5 Creedmoor and a .308 Winchester, Precision outperformed Varget in accuracy.
An example of .308 results:
Despite Precision being an extruded propellant, we have found good flow characteristics through a volumetric powder dump. The grain is narrow, and cut short. While some reloaders insist on weighing each powder charge, we did not find that extra time necessary when loading for accuracy with this propellant.
Another advantage to Shooters World propellants is the long track record of these propellants. Our manufacturer has been making propellants since 1920.
In addition to Shooters World reload data directly accessible from our home page, many of our propellants are sold throughout Europe under the Lovex brand. The Lovex published reloading manual is available on-line, and linked directly from the www.shootersworldpowders.com website home page. There, you can find additional data for such calibers as .22-250, several European calibers, 7mm Remington Magnum, .243 Winchester, .270 Winchester, 6.5×55 Swedish, and many others.
The density of Precision Rifle is approximately 0.9 grams/cc. It contains a level of flash suppressant. Its extruded geometry is of a narrow diameter, and cut short. Therefore, its drop consistency through a volumetric charger is quite consistent for an extruded propellant.
Under the Lovex brand, this propellant is referred to as S062.
