Midsouth has/had a "no haz-mat" sale on this brand so I decided to try it out.
I bought the Tactical Rifle powder... Labeled D073-8 D073-8. The Lovex web site only listed the D073 up to a dash 6 so this might be different.
I'm shooting a Delton 360 AR with 16" BBL.
I loaded up 4 rounds each of the three loads I chronographed and you might be interested in the results.
One round each of two of the test shots failed to register on the chrono. Probably I was in fear of blowing a hole in the instrument.
All tested were with 55 grain Hornady FMJBT bullets
20 grains

Think I'll stick to the 24 grain load.
 
Shooter world powers seem to be about $2/lb cheaper compare to the well established counterparts, not sure if worth the trouble. They are ball powders except the recent Precision Rifle extruded powder, with a slow burn rate for heavier bullets, little review out there yet. I would buy some if the burn rate is in the 4895 neighborhood for wider weight range bullets.
