    Does anyone use Accurate rifle powder?

    I came across a great local deal on an 8lb jug of AA 2495BR powder.
    I am looking for people who have experience using this powder.
    How does it meter?
    Have you had good results?
    Any other info or tips would be appriciated.
    I know it is supposed to have a similar burn rate to IMR4895 and H4895.
    I want to use it for .223, .308 Win., and 30-06.

    Thanks!

      I use accurate powders but not the one you mention. I like 2520 for my 204 Ruger and my 22-250. Powder meters well and performs well and clean.

          I've used a ton of the accurate arms data powders. Great for blasting loads but a little temperature sensitive. Still was very accurate inside 300. If its a good deal I'd go for it.

            I just scored the rest that he had.
            23lbs for $200.

            I'll use it for blasting 308.
            Now I just need to find some blasting 308 bullets.

              Good find. I haven't done any research as to the br designation, but the normal 2495 is extruded and shouldn't be too sensitive. You may have good luck in match loads as well, depending.

              Too bad I can't go back and buy more DP73 for 52 bucks a keg.
