Accurate No 2 - Propellant Profiles 

"All the way the back in 1988"... boy, do I feel old. Great background info on its origin and history... had no idea it had changed hands that much.

I appreciate that you add the .40sw

Keep up the good work. Maybe you could make a Profile video of the 4 powders that have '4350" in their designation; AAC4350, SW4350, IMR4350 and H4350. Appears to be 4 different powders with the same number.

More powder profile videos please!

Great video. For a practice load in your Charter Arms 44 Special revolver, the start charge of No 2 with a cowboy 200 gr cast bullet works great. Very accurate and controllable recoil.

AA#2 is my go to powder for 9mm and my 38 Special snubnose. It’s great in those guns. No muzzle flash and the gun stays quite clean. I’ve also used it in my Beretta 96 40 S&W with the 5 inch barrel. It works fine but slightly slower powders seem better with the heavier bullets and longer barrel. I don’t know where you got the load data for 40 S&W but you appear to be too hot. Hodgdon’s website shows max load for your combination at 5.4 grains. Good informative video and I look forward to more.

Nice - I am trying to learn more about this powder. I picked some up when any powder was hard to get. Like you say this is economical and I'm learning like you it is very versatile. At first I was pretty confused when I looked it up in my 15 manuals - there is quite a bit of variance in charges from older sources to new. I went with the Accurates most recent data in 9mm and 40 in preparation for a self defense class. The narrow min to max was a little concerning so I started at minimum did 10 test rounds and worked up a little. I don't recall the final loads - but minimum for the 40 was a bit too light with Berry's 155 plated so I moved up to where I had reliable function in a Walther P99 and stopped at a middle of the road load. I fired 500 round in the class and felt it was quite accurate, functioned perfectly and didn't wear me out. I use a Lyman Turrett with a Lee Proauto disk - and the charges stayed amazingly consistent even when the powder hopper got pretty low. Accuracy was very good for the class. I loaded anoter 400 rounds of 9mm with a mix of FMJ, commercial cast lead and some Berrys plated - all at 123-155 gr. in a Taurus PT92. Again I had a low middle range load that didn't beat the gun and functioned well. After my initial concern for this new to me powder - I am very happy with it - I didn't quite empty my first pound with over 1,000 loads - economical accurate, and quite clean burning. I'm eager to try it in 38 special too. Good Stuff.

Great video and well explained!! Thank you!

Great job! Very enjoyable.

Thank you for the video from Goleta California.🤠

seem to be my go to powder lately. Great video, thanks

Excellent ,need to try this one. Good examples of various application for this powder.

Excellent, thanks.

.45 Colt is my favorite also. My EDC is a Charter Arms Bulldog in .45 Colt, I have a .45 Colt Ruger Blackhawk 5.5" barreled hunting pistol, a .45 Colt Henry Lever-X with a silencerCo 45 Hybrid and a .45 Colt Carbine Single shot H&R. ;) Love em.

No. 5 next please.

Have been using #2 in my .45auto and .45 colt seems pretty good .

Yes, over here in Europe (Netherlands) this powder is very popular too in its Lovex D032 iteration. What I don't understand is why you don't shoot on paper targets so you can add the results to the summary/overview at the end. Nice job though, thanks for sharing!

Oh damn...I use at least thirty five different propellants,now I'm going to have to get some No 2 .

I used AA No2 in the early 90s when I first began loading 9mm and 45 ACP. when it became unavailable I switched to Win 231..I recently acquired 2 lbs of it for 38/357 and 9mm...

Thanks.,.

Well done, I am noting that 45acp load. I wonder what it will do unsupressed.

Great accuracy out of that little S&W!

I use no. 2 in my 9mm practice rounds. I like it but because it's not as versatile as other powders for high performance in a variety of calibers i won't be replacing it. I have to many different powders and I'm consolidating.

I will have to try this powder now. Could you you give us information on your shooting bench?

#2 is one I've been using for certain loads. Thank you for the video! Did Western Powders close their facility at Miles City?

I have several handguns and rifles in different, or you can say unique calibers. The Ruger .480 (looking to reload 400-425 grain LFNGC. Also have a very rare Sako model 75, 26" stainless barrel in 7mm Remington ultra magnum (want to reload 140-175 grain general hunting loads). Then lastly a Ruger model 77 with 20" barrel in .338 Ruger compact magnum (looking to load 185-225 grains, like the no longer found factory rounds). If you can suggest a powder for any of these ? It's appreciated... I always enjoy your very informative videos.

They call it no2 because you need to double check your case. That stuff gets wild fast.

I would be interested in 45acp or 9mm load development.

I picked up a Colt Police Positive revolver in .38 S&W a while back but haven't gotten setup for reloading it yet. It has an odd size bullet at .361" and the factory loads I've bought have been disappointingly inaccurate. It seems that I'll need a dedicated bullet mold for those larger bullets and .38 Spl/.357 Mag dies won't work either. Have you found good solutions to these 'problems'? I haven't found a bullet mold that wasn't a couple thousandths to small.

I'd like to see an analysis of Accurate 2200 since I picked up 50+ lbs of it the other day. Think you can help? Any good in .243 Winchester? Or heavy bullets in .223/5.56? I like your selection of Pistols. I'm looking for an 8-3/8" Model 25 to go with my other N-frames (.357, .41, .44).

Who makes the Handloader shooting bench you use in the field. (not the loading bench)

2400 vs H110?

38 sw😊

I could appreciate your video much more if you weren’t interrupted several times mid-sentence by some bs ad. Otherwise quite informative.

Crazy that you didn't include 9mm
