Accurate 2495 Smokeless Rifle Powder 1lb - Medium Burn Rate

The Accurate 2495 smokeless rifle powder delivers consistent performance for medium-capacity rifle cartridges with its carefully engineered burn characteristics. This single-base extruded powder provides excellent metering properties and temperature stability for precision handloading applications.

What Makes This Different

Accurate 2495 features a medium burn rate that bridges the gap between faster pistol powders and slower magnum rifle powders. The extruded granule design ensures uniform powder charges through progressive reloading equipment while maintaining consistent ignition across temperature ranges. This powder produces lower pressure curves compared to ball powders of similar burn rates, extending brass life and reducing barrel wear.

Key Features

• Medium burn rate optimized for .223 Remington, .308 Winchester, and similar cartridges
• Single-base extruded formulation for consistent metering and ignition
• Temperature-stable performance across hunting and competition conditions
• Lower pressure characteristics extend brass life and reduce barrel stress
• Excellent lot-to-lot consistency for precision handloading applications
• Clean-burning formula minimizes fouling and barrel maintenance
• Compatible with standard small rifle and large rifle primers

This powder excels in precision rifle applications where consistent velocities matter most. Competition shooters appreciate the predictable pressure curves that contribute to tight groups at extended ranges. The medium burn rate makes it suitable for both lightweight varmint bullets and heavier match projectiles in intermediate cartridges. Temperature stability ensures reliable performance from early morning hunts to hot afternoon range sessions.
