Accurate Arms Company now wants their powders to be know as Accurate #9. Seems dumb to me but you can read it for yourself on their homepage: http://www.accuratepowder.com/

quote> Accurate Powder designations:

Since 2003/4 all prefixes of Accurate Powder designations such as “XMR” or “XMP” no longer apply.

Also the company name “Accurate Arms” or the abbreviation “AA” are not to be used.

The products are merely designated as “Accurate” or abbreviated with a single “A” prefix. <end

I will continue with AA#9 as one of my main big bore powders. It works good and it can be downloaded if you want by as much as 10 or 20% below Max.

It has also proven accuracy potential, IME its best 'feature'.

I have a load of surplus WC820 (AA #9) that sees a lot of action in my 357, 44 and 45.
It runs good as long as I keep the loads in the warm to hot range.

Excellent shooting BTW.

That is excellent accuracy at 50yds over open sights. You have found a great load for your particular gun. And you are obviously doing your part at the bench. Even with a scope that group would still be top-notch.

Yeah, I thought that was a really nice group, then read that it is at 50 yards.
Good for you! Top Notch.
