A warning has been issued to those that have acquired Lovex propellant

[JO JO]

A warning has been issued to those that have acquired Lovex propellant not canisterized in Shooters World Powders containers. We cannot guarantee the safety, what the physical propellant is, nor can we assure that published load data will work. These propellants may have been tampered with, blended, repackaged, or exposed to high amounts of moisture and can be a hazard.

Not powders that I use, but one has to wonder what is that all about.

"Our partnership imports propellant from Explosia, of the Czech republic. Explosia has been in business making propellants since the 1920's. They're a long-established company, makers of high quality propellants. Explosia sells several of its propellants in the European reloading market, under the name of "Lovex". All of these reloading propellants are appropriate for the United States reloading market."

Sounds like "something else" might have made its way into this containers. Who knows what, but with a name like Explosia it's got to be good!

They make a lot of fun stuff:

Sounds like.......

Don't TRUST or buy LOVEX from anyone else except, "Shooter's World".

Such a wonderful way to build loyalty for the brand. Anything could happen IF you choose to buy from our competition. Wink, wink....

Aloha, Mark

PS....don't get me WRONG, because WARNINGS are important.

 

[P7M13]

A warning that's not clear
Then confusing information on SAAMI vs CIP
Then an explanation that the data is good
No offer of remedy
Huh?

 

[Stomper]

They should sell the stuff to the Russian and Chinese military industrial complexes…..

Sounds like the mfg of certain 'unmentionable' products....

What's a rubber?

While the word "rubber" in America is a slang term for a condom, in England, it has a much more innocent connotation: It's simply the name given to a pencil eraser.

The first one. Don't confuse the two.

"Explosia," what a wonderful name of a company that makes gun powder.
