Shooters world powder

Yep. Tactical Rifle for my 223 AR and 223 bolt guns. 55gr FMJ Armscor bullets 24.5 gr SW vs 25 gr H335.

I am very satisfied. After a small purchase I got 8 pounds. There is a thread on the topic. It is a surprise but the powder pretty much lives up to the advertising. Accurate. Smaller groups. So far pretty repeatable. Meters like a dream. Muzzle flash and residue weren't measured because truly those items do not weigh on my decisions.

It is less than 50 FPS slower than H335 but to me, now, that is a meaningless number. You can't get H335.

I would have tried other SW powders but my stash is healthy.
 
Are all of their powders relabeled from other brands, or only a few?
I had never heard of SW until recently when they started selling a relabeled muzzle loading powder made by American Pioneer Powder.
I'm thankful that they're willing to distribute it through Graf's under their own label.
And it's also being advertised by exactly stating who made it for them.
Do they sell many exc;lusive powders?

The SW powders website has the explanations you are looking for.

Graf's has the SW line as does Midsouth Shooters.

I am pretty sure a lot of powders are re-labeled or made by company X for company Y under contract and This has been happening for a long time.
 
Some folks are disappointed that Hodgdon acquired Accurate. Ramshot and Blackhorn 209 powders because now they control more powders which could affect their availability and price.

Hodgdon Acquires Ramshot, Accurate and Blackhorn 209

There are so many ways to see the Hodgdon acquistions. Mebbe Accurate or Blackhorn did not have the capital to increase production and fill demand. Or, They had excess capacity and wouldn't make use of it by farming ou the resource. Or Ramshot came to Hodgdon and said we want out please buy us.

Or Hodgdon is big enough and with plenty of cash on hand decided to remove the competition.
