Accurate No. 2

Handgun

Burn Rate: 8.4 (Fast)

Description

Accurate No. 2 powder is characterized by its fast burn rate of 8.9, making it an excellent choice for handgun and pistol loads. This propellant is versatile and is ideally suited for a wide range of pistol calibers where clean burning and efficiency are prioritized. Due to its fine spherical shape, Accurate No. 2 meters exceptionally well through powder measures, ensuring consistent charge weights and uniform performance shot to shot. Its stability across temperature variations is favorable, reducing velocity fluctuations in varying environmental conditions and contributing to predictable ballistic results. Common calibers that benefit from Accurate No. 2 include 9mm Luger, .45 ACP, and .38 Special, where moderate to high performance is desired without excessive recoil. The formulation of this powder allows for the development of optimal loads with ease, providing handloaders the advantage of precision and reliability. Reloaders appreciate Accurate's reputation for quality and performance, making Accurate No. 2 a preferred choice for reliable and efficient pistol reloading.
