Description
When a load calls for another option between established components, Accurate 2460 provides a fast-burning spherical rifle powder for small- and medium-caliber applications. It is a double-base powder and a slower derivative of AA2230.
Accurate 2460 is described as having slightly higher loading densities than AA2230. That difference gives shooters an additional option for fine-tuning loads and component combinations rather than treating one powder as a universal answer.
The stated cartridge range for Accurate 2460 runs from .223 Rem to .308 Win. It is also within the threshold limit for M14 systems. Accurate 2460 is made in the USA.
As with any component selection, suitability depends on the specific load and firearm. Consult applicable published load data and follow all relevant instructions when evaluating Accurate 2460 for a particular combination.

308 Winchester w/ 165 gr BTSP Hornady
I came across this powder about 30 years ago. No better powder for 308 Winchester. I shoot 1" groups at 300yds with a Remington 700ADL. No other powder can match this consistency shot after shot.

Powder for loading 308 Winchester 150 grain sst
Accurate 2460 is turning out to be a excellent preformer in my 308 Winchester! Shooting just under a 1” group at 100 yards with the first load I tried. I’m looking forward to seeing just how good this preforms!

AA 2460
Have been suing this powder for years. Equal to or a shade better than AA2230 for my .223 loads. Glad to get a jug of it!

Accurate 2460
We use this for several calibers and have found it works very well. It meters very good in our powder measures.

Works very well.

2460 powder
Measured great like the fine grain over the stick. Good for fine tuning hand loads.

Easy to measure
I load using basic tools including a measuring cup, a trickler and a balance. This process gets me close and personal to all my gear and the powder being measured. 2460 is a spherical powder quite different from cylindrical extruded powder. Not surprisingly I have found the ability to meter out exact weights of powder and improve down range consistency is significantly enhanced. I look forward to the construction of several more load ladders with some different weights of 6.5 mm bullets.
