10mm all compatible powders load data

[gmerkt]

Magnum opus on that list of loads for the 10mm.  It will save me lots of work with the chrono on my own.  Many thanks.

Yesterday's results: http://webcity.net/benchrest/10MMPublished/10mmLoadResults04-02-16.html

Or just see the master file linked on page 1.

Contains a single D032 / #2 comparison, and I furthered the 180 RMR D037.02 / #9 loads.

My limited testing suggests the Lovex line is similar to Accurate's, but not identical.

Great work Benchrest. At this point of your testing, and I think I saw you had other varieties of Nobel Sport powder in route, which would your prefer Nobel Sport or the Shooters World powders?? I need to order powder soon for several calibers and would like to give one of the brands a try. Loading for 10mm, 40s&w, 9mm, and 300blk. On a side note, I am a dealer so they are pretty close in pricing, so that isn't really part of the equation.

Thanks for the insight.

I just ordered 8 lbs of Lovex D037.02 (Vexhvypistol-08) last night. I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs. In the past I have used AA-9 and I understand they are very similar. Judging from the spreadsheet I believe I will see similar performance.

PCFlorida, Can you elaborate on the term (Vexhvypistol-08)  is that a powder name that is being sold?

Yes the Lovex D037.02 is said to load exactly as AA#9 by weight...the velocities can be very near the same but can also be different.

Shooters World Heavy Pistol 8lb, I believe.

I am aware of the Shooter's World rebranding of the LOVEX powders and had thought that maybe what he meant but the way he wrote

(Vexhvypistol-08)

I was wondering if another company was also rebranding products.
Just trying to stay on top of things...

I hear you, there is a lot of powder being discussed hear. The nomenclature above is the item # used by Powder Valley for the Shooter World Heavy Pistol, Lovex D037.02. It is hard to keep all these references straight.

At this point I'd say the Lovex (Shooters World) powders are more viable, at least in the 10.

What I've loaded in N.S. Ba 9 & Ba 7.5 has been pretty anemic, but there's room to grow. As stated, GM3, A0, & A1 are new to me, and the first (conservative on A0 & A1, WAG with GM3) loads will be tested tomorrow.

I'm patiently waiting for PV to offer D037.01

[suncoastarmory]

Looking foward to the update on today's testing. I wonder why D037.01 isn't being offered? It's not carried at my Shooters World powder distributor either.

Shooter's World is selling the LOVEX D037.01 under their own name called MAJOR PISTOL

[PCFlorida]

Yes, that is Powder Valleys name for the Lovex/Heavy Pistol. It is confusing with everyone calling it something slightly different. However if it shoots like AA9 they can call it whatever they like. I used to shoot pounds of AA9 and then it got hard to find. I'm hoping Shooters World is around for a while.

[The_Shadow]

Don't be confused
the LOVEX D037.01 is the one that is like AA#7 and is called MAJOR PISTOL
the LOVEX D037-02 is the one that is like AA#9 and is called HEAVY PISTOL


Here is the pistol powder listings by Shooter World

Good post the_shadow, saves from having to go to the Shooters World website to cross reference the names.

Yesterday's results: http://10mm-reloaded.com/load_data/10mmLoadResults04-16-16.html (all entered in master file).

Most are pretty pedestrian - establishing baselines with some powders, others are 'working' loads that'll never be furthered.

A0, A1, and GM3 were truly starting loads. My GM3 WAGs all cycled the G20 (24LB), some barely - case expansion was negligible, and I'll ladder up cautiously.

Glad to see the data as you explore these powders not normally part of the local loading fodder...
I was reading and studying some of the VECTAN data in my files.  Those show some uses in the metallic cartridge data, some don't, but it doesn't mean that they will not work!
