Accurate 2230 - Propellant Profiles 

Nice format for a powder profile. Good to see !

This is what I gathered from all my research today: Prior to 2007, X-terminator and A2230 were different powders. Very old load data with older cartridges will verify this. That was post Ramshot acquisition of Accurate. They then moved production to Belgium. In January 2016 they moved the production of 2230 to St Marks here in Florida. X-terminator is still made in Belgium. X-terminator has the same geometry as before but also has a de-coppering agent now. 2230 has new geometry and an additive that reduces temperature sensitivity.

Might be interesting to do a video on the history of the various manufacturers, with a timeline. For instance, Bullseye and Unique and the Hercules company from the black powder era until the present. Perhaps an accompanying column in Handloader . Call it Wipe off the Dust. Lol Subscriber since 1978 BTW.

4198 and 4895, both the IMR and Hodgdon varieties, please! (Unless they're the same). Also, some of the stated velocities are vastly different velocities shown in the table. A .45-70 at 2700+ fps is a scary thought! Good to see you are putting out the videos again. Christmas time must be over.

2230 I'm going to have try that in my 223 bolt rifle! 40gr V-max 27grs. 3800fps. that's moving!! Prairie dogs go pop ay those speeds!!! I only started using Accurate powders this year because I couldn't find some of the Hodgdon powders! 2215 2200 the only ones so far. Thanks for the video!!!

I have tried 2230 and Ramshot Tac for my .223 rounds but ended up with AA 2460 for it and for my 6.5 Grendel loads. I like how the 2460 meters, mostly. Thanks for the video!

Nice. Thanks for sharing.

One of my favorite powders.

There was also a 2230-S, also a slightly different powder. I’ve used it primarily for 223. Load data can be obtained from the manufacturer.

You make the point that AA2230 can be used in a variety of cartridges, which is great. You sort of touch, on how, in one cartridge it performs better with lighter bullets. That is some thing I try to stress, when people ask what powder should I buy? Read the manuals, research as much data as you can, with the bullet weight you want to use, along with alternate bullet weights for that cartridge, and do the same, with any secondary cartridges/guns you may possibly choose to use it in as well. Sometimes it works well in 1 or two, sometimes 3-4, in some only with lighter bullets, in some only with heavier bullets, some with every weight of bullet for that cartridge. That subject alone is worth doing a show on, to teach people how to research a powder before buying, and in some cases, a bullet. It can prevent buying stuff that isn't optimum, or help to buy stuff that is optimum and versatile. Propellant profiles can become a good tool in itself, to help promote the way to research powders and bullets.

More people need to watch these videos... perhaps if they were actually reloading ammo they would get more views ..or with a Satterlee test and load development with a particular Caliber....

I’ve got about 8pounds of 2230-c from a long time ago, works great for 30-30 , with Lyman 308-014 cast bullets, I think you use 2460 load data, it measures great in the Dillon

Good stuff in 221 fireball

Accurate started out selling surplus powders. My recollections are I got an 8 pound jug for $40.

Having Too Much Fun.... Carry on n have some for me as well. Well done as always.. 1 powder havent used yet.

I would like you to pick a powder that's used in straight wall cartridges as many states now allow there use in hunting. Love the powder profile

When I saw that 2723 fps show up on the 45-70 graphic I was like WTF? Then your narration said 1723 fps. A moment of confusion.

Just found you. Subbed.

According to Western Powder's manual, MR 2230 and Exterminator are the same powder, different packaging.

I have used 2230 for a wide variety of 5.56 loads. But for the heavies...77 and 75 grain...I used 2460 and got good velocities duplicating the military load. My MK262 duplication loads were on point for velocity without any unusual pressure signs. But without a pressure barrel/tester, who really knows?

You done 3031 Jeremiah?..some excellent groups with .223 16” carbine and low charges…like my best ever..lol

Will 2230 work in the 6mm ARC? I have not seen any data for it since it is a newer round. Seems like a good fit?

Are you guys planning on doing another Propellant Profiles book soon?

I am looking for a good load data for the 62gr ss109 with the accurate 2230 powder can't find anny

Its a good powder I have burned a few Pounds. ❤

Are Magnum Primers needed for Small pistol and Large Pistol reloads

grain size is .22 inches? you must have ment something else.

might wanna look at the 45-70 load data. I think you have the velocity and the pressure mixed up.
