Accurate No. 2 smokeless powder delivers consistent burn rates and clean combustion for precision handgun reloading. This versatile propellant excels across multiple calibers while maintaining tight velocity spreads shot after shot.
What Makes This Different
Accurate No. 2 features a double-base formulation that burns cleaner than many single-base powders, reducing fouling buildup in barrels and actions. The spherical grain structure meters consistently through powder measures, eliminating the bridging issues common with flake powders. Temperature stability remains excellent across seasonal variations, maintaining velocity consistency from summer heat to winter cold.
Key Features
- Double-base spherical powder for consistent metering and clean burning
- Optimized for .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .44 Special, and .44 Magnum cartridges
- Temperature-stable formulation maintains performance across weather conditions
- Low flash signature reduces muzzle blast in low-light conditions
- Copper-reducing additives minimize barrel fouling buildup
- Sealed 1-pound metal canister with moisture-resistant closure
- Lot-to-lot consistency ensures reliable load development results
Competitive shooters rely on Accurate No. 2 for match-grade ammunition that delivers sub-2-inch groups at 50 yards in quality revolvers. The powder's moderate burn rate makes it suitable for both target loads and hunting applications, providing flexibility for reloaders working with multiple bullet weights. Law enforcement agencies specify this propellant for duty ammunition due to its consistent ignition characteristics and reduced muzzle flash properties.
