Shooters World Long Rifle Powder
Long Rifle is a purpose-built rifle propellant engineered for modern intermediate to magnum cartridges. Its burn rate is optimized specifically for the 6.5 Creedmoor, though it performs excellently across a range of applications.
Performance Characteristics
Cartridge Compatibility:
- 6.5 Creedmoor (primary application)
- .260 Remington
- .30-06 Springfield
- .300 Winchester Magnum (achieves 2900 fps with 190-grain bullets)
Accuracy and Velocity:
- Delivers high loading densities that maximize case fill
- Optimized velocities across bullet weights from lightweight to heavy
- Accuracy testing revealed no groups exceeding 1 MOA, with many groups at ½ MOA or better
- The key to accuracy is achieving proper case fill and maximum velocity—Long Rifle accomplishes both
Practical Advantages
Powder Handling:
- Extruded grain design with narrow, short-cut kernels
- Excellent flow characteristics through volumetric powder measures
- While precision weighing is always an option, Long Rifle's consistency allows accurate loading via volume measure without sacrificing accuracy
Cleanliness and Flash:
- Incorporated flash suppressant technology
- Virtually no muzzle flash
- Clean-burning formula reduces fouling and simplifies maintenance
