The Accurate 2015 smokeless rifle powder delivers consistent velocities and exceptional accuracy for small to medium varmint cartridges. This single-base extruded powder provides the clean-burning characteristics and temperature stability that precision shooters demand for cartridges like .223 Remington, .22-250, and similar varmint rounds.
What Makes This Different
Accurate 2015 features a proprietary formulation that maintains velocity consistency across temperature extremes better than standard ball powders. The extruded grain structure provides progressive burning characteristics that optimize pressure curves in small-capacity varmint cases. Independent testing shows velocity standard deviations under 15 fps in controlled conditions, significantly tighter than many competing powders in this burn rate class.
Key Features
- Single-base extruded powder optimized for small to medium varmint cartridges
- Burn rate positioned between IMR 4895 and Varget for versatile loading applications
- Temperature-stable formulation maintains consistent performance from -20°F to 120°F
- Clean-burning composition reduces fouling and extends barrel life
- Excellent metering characteristics through progressive reloading presses
- Compatible with standard magnum rifle primers and flash hole configurations
- Packaged in moisture-resistant 1-pound containers with lot number tracking
Field testing demonstrates reliable ignition and consistent accuracy in popular varmint cartridges including .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, and .243 Winchester. The powder's burning characteristics produce optimal velocities in 20-26 inch barrel lengths commonly found on varmint rifles. Competitive shooters report maintained zero stability across temperature changes during prairie dog seasons and long-range varmint hunting applications.
