Anyone familiar with this powder for 140 to 165 grain .308 range ammo?

I'm sure there is a cross reference somewhere , there are not that many Powder manufacturers out there , looks like aGerman Powder , don't see the exact one you are referring to

Shooters World by Lovex Tactical Rifle D073-08 Smokeless Powder

Go to the Powder Valley website, click on the Powders tab, then the Shooters World tab, then click on the image of the three 1 lb. bottles at the top. This will bring you to all the info on the Tactical Rifle powder you'll need to get started. There is a burn rate chart that indicated Tactical Rifle (D073-08 or D073-01) is about equivalent to AA2200, and a little faster than AA2230 and H335. They also have only load data for three cartridges listed for it: 223 Rem; 30-30; and 308 Win.

I have personal experience only with Match Rifle. It is touted as equivalent to AA2520. A guy I know with QuickLoad who ran the numbers and said it came up exactly like AA2520, It's not AA2520, just equivalent in it's characteristics. I mention this because from scouring the web, and talking to the folks at Shooters World, Lovex/Explosia comparisons seem to be spot on (Clean Shot to AA#2, Match Rifle to AA2520)

Thanks, I had never heard of it before I saw it on a internet sales ad.
