I don't buy AA Powder.
But at those prices I might try some. So, how would I choose? I'd start by downloading the FREE re-loading manual........ www.accuratepowder.com/reloading.htm After that........I'd go over the calibers and note the powders that are mentioned again and again, for the range of bullets that I'll be using. Must be something to that (maybe?). Then, go back and read the mfns descriptions. Same method can also be used to cross check with various re-loading manuals. Aloha, Mark |

I used to use a lot of Accurate Arms when the price difference between them and the more famous brands was larger.
AA 4064 should make a good M1 Garand propellant. I've used AA 2520 back when I had a Garand. I've also used AA 2520 in my 8x57mm. Some people are pretty fond of AA2230 for .223 Remington / 5.56mm loads. I like AA 3100 for applications where you would use H4831. My favorite 6.5x55 loads were with AA 3100 |

Check Accurate's site, but I'm fairly sure that AA2495 is real close to IMR 4895. I would think this should be in the right range for what you want to load.

How about the AA2230 for .223 plinking/blasting ammo?

AA2230 was originally made for .223 - thus the name. One of the best powders you can get for the .223. I use it all the time. |

I use AA2230 and AA2460 for .223 as well as Data 2200 (which is no longer available) You can get 8lb jugs of it for about $108 from PowderValley or $103 from Widener's

AA rifle powders are slightly faster burning when compared to their American counterparts. I use AA4350 in my fast-twist 22-250 with 80 grain bullits. It it is more efficient than either Hodgdon or IMR in that application.

One vultures enough.  I bought the AA reload manual when I was there Saturday, they have a NM/HP reloading section in the back.

I use a lot of AA2230 for .223/5.56 blasting and target shooting. It works very well. I got it when Midway had it for $9.99 a pound.

2520 if you want ball or 2495 or 4064 if you want extruded. 2460 is too fast for the garand. 2520 has worked well for me in 8mm and 308.
