I just picked up a bunch of this from Natchez and was wondering if anybody else has tried this powder? I would like to come up with some loads for my 7mm-08Rem and 222Rem carbine rifles. Any suggestions?

You can start with 2230 data. A tech from Accurate told me it is halfway between 2230 & 2460. I was asking specifically about use in the .223 where the 2230C is .5gr slower than 2230 and 2460 was 1gr slower. Hope this helps...

I've not used it myself, but if you go to the "Search" fearure on this forum and put in 2230C, you'll find some recent info.

I use AA2230C to load my .458 Win. I contacted AA and they said to use the load date for AA2460 the contained said to use the date for 2230. I found that they are about the same anyway. Here is the data on both powders form the AA reloaders guide that should come with the AA2230c powder you bought.

Rem 222
HDY 50 SX 2230 24.5gr 3227ft/sec
2460 24.5gr 3204ft/sec

Rem 7mm08
NOS 160 SP 2230 36.5gr 2435ft/sec
2460 37.0gr 2452ft/sec

So, as you see not much differance in the two, but if you have pressure data use the 2460 for that according to Accurate Arms. I emailed them and got this response.

Dear Mr. Minalga,

The 2230C is basically the same as 2460 and we recommend that you use the
2460 data and not the 2230 data.

Unfortunately, 2230C is too fast for all of your calibers except for the
.458 Win Mag. Please provide a fax number or mailing address and we'll send
you the .458 Win Mag data for 2460 that you can use the 2230C for.

Should you have any further questions, please contact us again via e-mail or
at 1-800-416-3006 ext 244.
