    Accurate 2015 question

    In the Lee loading manual and on their powder scoop sliding chart, there is a listing for AMXR2015.
    The label on the powder container just reads “Accurate 2015”.
    Is it the same powder?

    Yes Accurate changed the prefix around 20 years ago.

    That helps a lot, thanks.
    The last Accurate rifle powder I bought was 2460? back in the 1980s so I’m kinda clueless.

    Hey Tex, I've found that powder to be excellent in 45/70. My favorite load propels the noe 360gr FP @1580 FPS. I think I used 42.3 gr.

    Thanks, Frosty.
    So far 2015 is working very well in my 6.8 and 30-30 with cast.

    I find 2015 is kind of a 'fast' 3031 that measures much better, 'USUALLY' cheaper. I use it in .358 Win, 45-70, .308 Win with light jacketed bullets, .32 Special, works well in a lot of stuff

    It was my favorite in the .375 Win with the heavy Lyman bullet.
