Accurate # 2200

[rmcc]

Does anyone have any experience with this in AR's w/55gr bullet? I ended up with 8lbs of it.

Thanks,
Rich

You might need to call Accurate on that powder. I do not find any data on it with a 55 grain bullet.

I used to shoot a lot of 2200 data powder when it was real cheap...around $64/8lb keg. I bought my lot around the 2001/2002 timeframe.... All my loadings were M4 basting ammo, but it worked fine.

I loaded up around 23grns for 55fmjs.

Re: Accurate # 2200

I have used 2200 powder in my HBAR for high power rifle competition with excellent results.

I have also used in for cast bullet loads in my Ruger Mini-30 in 7.62x39 with good results - no malfunctions.

If my memory is correct i paid $50 shipped for my first 8 lb keg.
