Varget has been the standard. Is Shooters World Precision Rifle Powder a new challenger?
In my continuing search for a good alternative powder for Varget, I run a load test on Shooters World Precision Rifle powder at 100 yards. Does SWPR make the grade? #reload #rifle #gun #powder #gunpowder #precisionrifle #reloading #ammo #ammunition #swpr #shootersworld

Absolutely a great video well done and nice grouping!

@snova8033 24 күн бұрын

You can't have grouping with only one shot you could use any powder of any amount and it will still put a hole in the target, one shot tells you nothing.

I have found SW Precision to be as accurate as Varget in my 6 Dasher with Berger 105 Hybrids. I'm now working up a load for 6BR as well.

I came to love Shooters World powders years ago. Excellent performance and very low cost. In the early days, the biggest problem was load data. Availability is still an issue, as it seems that they only import it a few times a year. Unfortunately, the cost has skyrocketed, bringing it very close to the cost of more mainstream powders.

Just started watching your videos, good work ! Learned some things i didn't know , validated other things that i did. I like the way you keep things simple but complete. My own set up is much like your own, i load for .270 and .223 for a long while, and just started 6 arc .270wsm and .308 to help out my son in laws, gotta leave my equipment to family you know,, dang rockchucker will last forever!

The PRS guys have been using SW Precision for a number of years now. Usually, SD and ES are lower than with Varget. BTW; Those rings are entirely too high.

Nice video. Consistent powder. I think that it helped with those longer bullets with good bearing surface.

The only problem is no one carries it near me. If I have to order online might as well get varget because I know it works. Wish bass pro would carry it.

@southernexposure1205 17 күн бұрын

Thanks for watching. I don’t disagree that I could probably get better results with Lapua brass and maybe Berger bullets but unfortunately neither are within my budget. I am not a competitive shooter and I don’t have any sponsors so like most other people, I try to do the best I can with the components I can reasonably afford. Thanks.

Technically, no a 5th shot won't, not by itself, but 4 or more groups of 3-5 (gun cooled down like you would expect it to be each time you go to the field) WILL make a difference in your assurance of accuracy. You said that flyer was you, but did you know that when you let off the trigger? Too many shooters take the blame for what's actually statistical noise. Hornady episodes 50 & 52 (entitled respectively "Your groups are/are still too small.") cover the truth about statistics in determining accuracy. The only thing small aggregate groups are truly valid for is weeding out bad loads or identifying other issues.

Is that unburnt powder hitting the target about 1.5 seconds after hit? Sounds like something is going on there.

@southernexposure1205 9 күн бұрын

dirt is being kicked up by bullet behind the target. target is in front of a steep slope so dirt is only a couple of feet behind the target.

Was buying this for 20 bucks a pound,now it's 60 to 70 bucks. That's how panic buying and hoarding drives the price gouging from the companies.

@southernexposure1205 18 күн бұрын

Sorry to hear that but it is a supply and demand issue. When powders start being hard to get prices go up. Government pressure to take away rights causes people to buy and hoard which causes shortages and more demand. Just wait if you think prices are high now.

There's a high volume of artillery and small arms propellant use driving the market right now. It's the exact same material composition, just larger, slower stuff in the cannon and mortar world.
