Accurate 2700
A medium-capacity rifle powder centred on the 30-06 class, and called out by the manufacturer for the Winchester Super Short Magnums.
A medium-slow ball for the .30-06 class - .22-250, .220 Swift, .243 and the Winchester Short Magnums. It is a competent hunting powder with good metering and not much personality in the record; loaders who want a ball powder at this speed tend to reach for Big Game or Winchester 760 from habit. Nothing wrong with it, just nothing distinctive about it.
- 30-06 Springfield
- 22-250 Remington
- 220 Swift
- 243 Winchester

Grain shape
Spherical and degressive, with a thicker web than the fast .223 balls in the same line - that wall thickness is what places it in the .30-06 speed band. Drops cleanly through any measure.
Why geometry decides burn rate more than chemistry does: Shape Is the Product.
Spherical grain with the metering behaviour that implies. Made in the USA.
Burn rate
A medium-slow rifle powder, charted just past Winchester 760 and ahead of Norma URP.
Chart agreement: consistent across the three charts that list it Ranked by: Hodgdon, Vihtavuori, Wolfe/LoadData.
Powders charted near it — neighbours on the chart are not substitutes, and adjacency tells you nothing about what charge either one takes:
- Alliant Power Pro 4000-MR (position 142)
- Hodgdon H414 (position 143)
- Winchester 760 (position 144)
- Norma URP (position 146)
- Vihtavuori N550 (position 147)
- IMR 4350 (position 148)
This powder is obscure enough in the US that its practical character is thinly documented. The note above is deliberately short rather than padded.

The specifications above come from Accurate's own published documentation, linked below. The two “RCM's read” sections are ours, not theirs — our assessment of what this powder is like to load, drawn from its published characteristics and from what handloaders consistently report. No manufacturer endorses them and no source below backs them. If you think we have one wrong, tell us — we would rather fix it.
