Accurate LT-32
A benchrest competition powder developed for the 6mm PPC, with secondary use in varmint and tactical cartridges.
The 6mm PPC powder in the Accurate line, sold on low shot-to-shot deviation and used almost entirely by short-range benchrest shooters. Accurate's line is that the grain is small enough to flow like a ball powder despite being extruded, and in practice it does throw well. Nothing about it is aimed at bulk loading, and nothing about the price makes sense for bulk loading either.
- 6mm PPC benchrest
- 223 Remington accuracy loads
- short-range group shooting

Grain shape
Extruded stick cut small enough to behave like a sphere at the measure - the mechanism there is grain length relative to the cavity, not the geometry itself. Thin web places it near the Reloder 7 and IMR 4198 band.
Why geometry decides burn rate more than chemistry does: Shape Is the Product.
Manufacturer states the grain is small enough that it flows like a spherical powder despite being extruded, which is the practical reason it throws well. Marketed on low shot-to-shot standard deviation. Made in Canada.
Burn rate
Slightly slower than Accurate 2200, charted between Alliant Reloder 7 and IMR 4198.
Chart agreement: consistent, but single-publisher - ranked only by Hodgdon (and echoed by the Wolfe/LoadData compilation). No second manufacturer's chart carries it, so the position is uncorroborated. Ranked by: Hodgdon, Wolfe/LoadData.
Powders charted near it — neighbours on the chart are not substitutes, and adjacency tells you nothing about what charge either one takes:
- Norma 200 (position 85)
- Accurate 2200 (position 86)
- Alliant Reloder 7 (position 87)
- IMR 4198 (position 89)
- Hodgdon H4198 (position 90)
- Shooters World SOCOM (position 91)

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.
