Still learning its history.
As I understand it, today.......
The original Accurate 2520 was manufactured in Belgium. Ive seen a post on another forum from someone at Western Powders in April 2016 saying, the new Western Powders version of 2520 is being made at St Marks, Fl now and has a different shape for better temperature stability. Which sounds reasonable, and may explain the difference in the two, and why the original formula had a reputation for being hotter.
Shooters World Match Rifle is made by Lovex, in the Czech Republic and is just rebranded Lovex 073.06. Which Ive heard, is the original hotter 2520 formula.
2700 FPS w/120 Gold Dots and no apparent pressure signs or speed spike anomalies is not too shabby. IMO.
