Shooters World Long Rifle S065 Smokeless Gun Powder: Precision Powder for 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Rem & .30-06

Shooters World Long Rifle S065 is an extruded rifle propellant built by the manufacturer specifically around 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, and .30-06 Springfield, with published load data extending across a broad range of mid-to-long-range and standard-magnum cartridges. It’s sold in Europe under the Lovex brand as S065. Its narrow, short-cut extruded grain meters consistently through a volumetric powder measure, and it includes a flash suppressant for reduced muzzle flash.

Built for Long-Range Consistency

Long Rifle S065 is designed to deliver consistent muzzle velocities and tight groups for precision and long-range shooting. The manufacturer’s own accuracy testing reports groups no larger than 7/8 MOA and frequently 1/2 MOA or better, and a .300 Winchester Magnum test load reached roughly 2,900 fps with a 190-grain bullet. As with any extruded powder, always confirm current published load data before developing a load, since component changes (primer, bullet, case volume) affect pressure and velocity.

Application Versatility

Beyond its core 6.5 Creedmoor, .260 Remington, and .30-06 Springfield focus, Long Rifle S065 has published load data for .22 ARC, .22 Creedmoor, .22-250 Remington, .243 Winchester, .25-06 Remington, .270 Winchester, .300 Winchester Magnum, .308 Winchester, 6.5 PRC, 6.5×55 Swedish, 7mm-08 Remington, 7mm Remington Magnum, and 7mm PRC. If you need a slower-burning option for larger magnum cases like .338 Lapua Magnum, Shooters World SW4350 S070-05 is a purpose-built alternative.

Load Development

Always use published, manufacturer-tested load data when developing loads with Long Rifle S065. 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.
