Accurate 2460

Does anyone use or have any opinion on this rifle powder? I picked up a pound of it last year (panic buy) but have not used it yet. I see it listed only occasionally in the reloading manuals so it must have a niche somewhere.

I use it in just about everything I load and shoot. It'a a toss up between the AA2230 and AA2460. Both good stuff.
From 20 VT, 20 VT "short" .221 Fireball, .223, 22 and 6 BR, 6.8 BR Wildcat, 6.8 SPC, .308 and a few in between. Working on a 17 VHA so I'll see how that works. I get one powder and stick with it till I can't get any more out of it.
No use having a BUNCH of different powders on the shelf and not "really" knowing the full potential of any of them.
Someone says they shot bug holes at 4000 FPS with one powder in their caliber and every body jumps on the band wagon. : What works for them may not work the same way for you.

Look at the online manual as it should give lots of uses.Better yet buy the accurate manual.I have an old one and if you want it ,send me 10.00 and its yours.
