There is no reloading propellant equivalent for Shooters World SBR Socom D063-01 Smokeless Gun Powder. It burns faster than the accurate 1680 but slower than the Winchester 296 or Hodgdon H110.
The propellant gas production rate is appropriate for.300 Blackout, 7.62×39, straight-walled rifle cartridges, and especially.458 SOCOM, where rapid powder-to-gas transformation is sought.
Shooters World SBR Socom Powder is an excellent single propellant for subsonic and supersonic applications. In subsonic applications, it has a lower residue than 1680 and excels at 296 in supersonic applications. It performs flawlessly with a 220-grain Sierra Match King for a subsonic load.
But it really shines when paired with a 150-grain FMJ, or hunting bullet. Whereas conventional propellants render the.300 Blackout weak at best with a 150-grain bullet, SOCOM can achieve the velocity of a.30–30 Winchester with the same barrel length!
Given the size of the cartridge, the energy level of a 150-grain bullet at 2150 fps from a 16″ barrel is pretty astounding.
The burn rate and density of this propellant indicate that it will function well with the larger magnum pistol family. Whereas “1680” is a little too slow for.500 S&W and similar cartridges, SOCOM’s gas generation rate keeps up with the expansion ratios of these huge magnum handgun bores and bullet sectional densities.
Shooters World SBR Socom Smokeless Powder has a density of around 0.99 grams/cc. It has a flash suppressor level. When using a progressive loader, its spherical form ensures exceptionally consistent powder drops. This propellant is known as D063.1 under the Lovex brand.
Another advantage of Shooters World propellants is their long track record. Shooter’s World has been producing propellants since 1920. Many of these propellants are offered under the Lovex brand throughout Europe.
Warning About Smokeless Powder:
- Do not exceed the loads displayed in the reloaders guide
