Accurate 2460 in .45-70
« on: December 01, 2023, 10:03:41 PM »
Gentlemen,  Can't find much of anything on this.  Can you use Accurate 2460 in a .45-70 405 grain load?  I ask because I have a few pounds of it and not a lot of 5744.

I would be leary of using itin the .45-70

Hodgens says
“ Accurate 2460 is a fast burning, double-base, spherical rifle powder that is a slower derivative of the AA2230 powder. It is suitable for small and medium sized caliber applications but with slightly higher loading densities than AA2230. It provides an additional option for shooters to fine tune and optimize loads and combinations with calibers ranging from the 223 Rem to the 308 Win. 2460 is within the threshold limit for M14 systems.”

Does not include low pressure rounds like the 45-70

Yep, that's what I've been finding, as well.  I'll just use it for .308!
