I can honestly say that my only experience with Accurate powders is with AA-2230/Ramshot X-Terminator. I don't know much about AA-5, nor have I seen much data for it.

I can honestly say that my only experience with Accurate powders is with AA-2230/Ramshot X-Terminator. I don't know much about AA-5, nor have I seen much data for it.
I'm in a position where I'm having to switch over to a new powder myself. While, I mostly use mine for buckshot loads, I am seeing that Longshot is probably the best for my needs. If you're loading...
Can still be cheaper for some stuff. Look at 16ga, revolver rounds (especially magnum), and non-common rounds such as European imported pistols shoot. One of the reasons I've almost stopped using...
I mostly load buckshot loads. But I don't use the hopper for powder or my buckshot. It doesn't feed buckshot well, and I can't get the exact charge weight I'm looking for with the charge bar. At...

Yeah, I figured with the shorter lip on the base it'd have quite different pressure curves for a given charge of powder. Not to mention the column would need to be adjusted... Until I can find some...
I only have two types of shells. One is the Grey AA hulls, which pretty much all look like the example below. I also have some Super X hulls I’ve never reloaded. Not sure what class they fall into,...
Solved it by removing the barrel shroud. Shoots to point of aim now.
Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing those pictures... I bought these in bags of 100 from a local shop years ago, they were...
World wide shortages, an uptick in firearms and ammo sales, trade wars, actual wars, international relation issues, and manufacturer profiteering have all caused the disappearance of supplies, and...
800X was also discontinued. Never used it myself, but I'm told that people like it. With 8lbs of it at the right price, I'd see no good reason not to use it up! Sounds like a good score.

I am kind of leaning towards longshot, as I do see all the data for it. I'm using the Lyman 5th Shotshell Manual, and it obviously doesn't. So I'll have to buy some new manuals as well. Blue Dot...
Claybuster will likely never stop making that wad... It's just way too popular. I don't think I've ever NOT HAD a bag of WAA12Rs sitting on my bench...

Precisely, several companies do this. Ramshot Powders is just a subsidiary of Western Powders selling the same powders under different names.

That must have been a fair bit of time ago... When I was in back in the late 2000s and early 2010s, as an E4 I was bringing home $2400/mo, and closer to $3200 with BAH. You toss in hazardous duty...

No, very different powders.
X-Terminator and Accurate 2230 are the same, but there is also a 2230S I think, which is different. Here you go, this should help you.
