Accurate 2700

Post by walkiahgunman on Fri Jul 15, 2011 7:22 pm

I found out an interesting piece of info out yesterday while reading the newest issue of Handloader magazine. There is an article in there about Accurate powders that is pretty informative, but the main thing I got out of it was that the author stated the Accurate 2700 is the same exact powder as Hodgden 414 and Winchester 760. I've enjoyed shooting Accurate 2700 the past few years in my .270win and my .243. It's been a great powder, but short of having a Accurate loading manual there has not been alot of good load data for it. Now I've found out this information, with the Hodgden and Winchester being more popular powders there is alot more data out there for different loads and calibers that I own. Thinking on trying it in my Garand loads, after some research I've seen that the pressures seem to come in a bit lower than some of the other powders. Question is, and some of you that load for Garands hopefully can answer, what is the lower limit you want to be at with pressure to get the rifle to function properly and the upper limit you don't want to be at to avoid bending an op-rod or such?

Anyway, I didn't know how many of you knew this piece of information about Accurate 2700, Hodgden 414, and Winchester 760. I do know that some of you are skeptical about using different load info for different powders, but if you research it all these are exactly the same, produced by the same company, even made in the same factory, and come of the same product line. Hope this information helps.

SOmething that has always been in the back of my mind is what if you got a good dose of left over bullseye in your 4064(or something like that) well that's a bad choice you can easily see the difference but maybe n350 an n550.. look exact.
