I got a e mail from Western powder, there is a recall on their Accurate 4064,2495 and 4350. You can go to their web site for details.

Sorry I fat fingered and missed the w in the title.

Yes . It was scary as hell . Purchased eight , 1 pounders and the 1st bottle was fine , and shot good , as did the second . I opened the third bottle of 4064 as I was loading , and damn near passed out from the fumes . When I looked into the bottle , it had a really pretty red hue , and was giving off a light reddish pink vapor that was easily visible . It had "turned" in just a couple weeks from the purchased date on my receipt . Took the six pounds I had left , of the eight purchased , and spread it in the back yard and turned on the sprinklers ... Rinsed the bottles and trash canned them . The worst part was finding fifty rounds that were "growing" green corrosion around the neck and primer pocket , that I had loaded just five days before . Pulled the bullets and nothing but junk . Fifty Lapua cases , half a box of Berger 185 Hybrids , and half a flat of Rem 7-1/2 BR primers . About $70.00 out the window .
