SHOOTERS WORLD POWDER FOR 5.56?

In light of the current 223 / 556 powder availability, I've been considering Shooters World powders for 5.56x45 / Hornady 62FMJ-BT.

Looking specifically at their AR Plus, Precision Rifle, Match Rifle & Tactical Rifle.

Price is right, it's available, but does it deliver?

Thoughts & experience appreciated.

Don’t quote me on this, but I’m quite certain that Shooters World Match Rifle was formerly packaged as AA2520. Accurate Arms now has 2520 made in Belgium.

FISH!!

Heed the words of Winston Smith in Orwell's 1984:

"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right."

That's encouraging. Word is, AA2520 gets high marks for accuracy, in 5.56 / Sierra 77 grn OTM (Mk 262 clone) loads.

Thanks for the input!
