Has anyone heard about Lovex powders? They are made in Czech Republic and include powders for handgun and rifle. Any loading data available?

I haven't heard of that powder but AA used to sell several powders that were made in the Czech Republic and maybe their #'s would be the same or AA data could be used if you could find where the Lovex powders stood in the burn rate chart.

Thanks for the info. In fact I do have the AA equivalents to the Czech powders called Lovex. I believe AA are still importing them in USA from Europe - quite a surprise! Guess that I can use AA loading data then.

Don't bet your life or your eyesight and fingers on it. Just because powders have the same number does not make them interchangeable. Nor does it make them the same because the same company makes them.

Unless you can get verification from a powder company that the data is interchangeable or you have pressure measuring equipment you'd be foolish to try to substitute them.

As long as it's on one or both of the powder company sites it should be fine. But don't just make assumptions based on heresay. That was my only point.
