Accurate 4064
An intermediate-burning general rifle powder built around the 30-06, and a common choice for M1 Garand High Power shooting.
A short-cut single-base extruded in the IMR 4064 speed range, and the Accurate that Garand shooters name. It covers the .30-06 class broadly, out to .22-250, .220 Swift and 7x57mm, and is a genuine match powder inside the gas-gun window. The short cut helps it through a measure, but it is still a stick powder - if you are chasing the lowest velocity spread you will be weighing every charge.
- Garand loads
- 30-06 hunting

Grain shape
Extruded and short-cut, so the grains tumble into the measure cavity instead of bridging across it - better than a full-length stick, still not a ball powder. Its gas curve is flatter than a ball's, which is what suits it to long strings in a gas gun.
Why geometry decides burn rate more than chemistry does: Shape Is the Product.
Short-cut extruded grain, which the manufacturer offers as the reason it handles better than full-length stick powders. Made in Canada.
Burn rate
A medium rifle powder, charted just past Norma 202 and immediately ahead of Accurate 2520.
Chart agreement: consistent across charts - listed in the same relative neighbourhood by every publisher that carries it Ranked by: Hodgdon, Vihtavuori, Shooters World, Wolfe/LoadData.

- IMR 4064 (position 119)
- Norma 202 (position 120)
- Shooters World Tactical Rifle (position 122)
