Shooters World Ultimate Pistol D036-07 Smokeless Gun Powder: Reliable Self-Defense Pistol Performance

Shooters World Ultimate Pistol D036-07 has no exact reloading-powder equivalent — it’s faster-burning than Shooters World Auto Pistol D036-03 and slower-burning than Shooters World Clean Shot D032-03, with a competition-relevant burn rate similar to Winchester Autocomp. Unlike Autocomp’s burn-rate modifier, which is applied as a surface coating, Ultimate Pistol D036-07’s modifier is incorporated directly into the propellant grain for more reliable, consistent ignition.

Built for Reliable Ignition

Every manufactured batch of Ultimate Pistol D036-07 is tested for consistent ignition with both lead-free and standard lead styphnate primers, making it a dependable choice regardless of which primer type you load with. It meters through charge plates consistently and will work with a high-speed loader with very good flow, and it includes a level of flash suppressant.

Application Versatility

Ultimate Pistol D036-07 is one of the most versatile pistol propellants available, with published data for .380 Auto, 9mm Luger, .40 Smith & Wesson, .38 Special, .38 Super, and .45 Automatic. Its gas generation rate is suited to reaching self-defense velocities in 9mm Luger, .380 Automatic, .45 Auto, .38 Super, and .40 S&W loads while maintaining reasonable pressure levels, and it also works well at reduced charge weights for low-recoil target loads.

Load Development

Always use published, manufacturer-tested load data when developing loads with Ultimate Pistol D036-07. Start at the published minimum charge and work up in small increments, weigh every charge on a calibrated scale, and chronograph each string to track velocity consistency. Keep primer brand, bullet lot, and brass lot constant during development, watch for pressure signs, and document charge weight, seating depth, primer, and chronograph results so successful loads can be reproduced.
