INTRODUCTION
This booklet is an introductory guide to the use of our Accurate
Smokeless Propellants,
including the Scot
TM
series of shotshell propellants. The data for the metallic cartridges has been
derived from our more comprehensive No. 2 loading guide. (It is available from your local dealer,
or check the inside back cover of this booklet for ordering details.) The shotshell data is the
latest we have available on the Scot series and is only available in this guide.
SAFETY
In reloading, the prime concern should be SAFETY. Always wear eye protection when
reloading, even when working with ‘‘non-volatile’’ components. Always keep the reloading area
clean. Never have more than one propellant within easy reach at any given time. Avoid having
similar looking bullets of different weights on the bench at the same time. Read the safety notes
in the center of the booklet before loading.
If you are new to reloading, we recommend that you obtain and read a book such as Dean
Grennell’s ‘‘ABC’s of Reloading’’ or any other publication specifying the reloading procedures
in detail. It will help provide the basics for getting started. Loading manuals from the bullet
companies provide information about reloading for metallic cartridges. All loading tools (metallic
and shotshell) come with instructional text.
Metallic Centrefire Calibers:
As with all editions of our loading data, as well as all other publications, one must be
aware that the velocities and pressures generated for a specific combination of gun (i.e.
chamber/barrel internal dimensions), and components, (i.e primer, case and bullet) may
differ significantly, from what is listed in this guide. That’s the reason why a safety margin
of 10% is built into the ‘‘START’’ load.
This is the golden rule of reloading: To always start at the suggested minimum
‘‘START’’ load. This also applies whenever a change is made to any one of the
components of the combination, i.e., primer, case or bullet.
The only charge that can be guaranteed to be safe, is the minimum or ‘‘START’’ charge.
The misconception that the maximum charge (or any charge beyond the minimum load)
is also safe, is not true at all. The myriad of variables outside the control of the compiler
of reloading data, does not allow for that exact a prediction.
This guide is a report of the velocities developed on a given day under a given set of lab
conditions. Variations as much as 10% have been recorded between different combinations.
Therefore, a variation in performance should be expected. In the case of metallic centerfire
calibers, the minimum loads are listed. In certain cases where only one load is listed, such as
reduced loads for special applications such as training, Cowboy action, galley loads etc, the
listed charge can be used as is. In such cases the fact will be stipulated.
Please use caution when reloading with military cases as some batches of military cases

have reduced interior volume and may require reducing the charge even further to keep chamber
pressure in line.
In the case of revolver calibers, some data was compiled using un-vented test barrels.
Please expect a lower velocity in actual revolvers. This lower performance will depend on the
conditions and parameters of each combination. This will depend on the cylinder gap, burn rate
of the propellant, as well as the performance level.
WARNING concerning reduced loads: For this special type of application, it is often
necessary to load below the 50% case capacity level. This, combined with the fact that
fast handgun/shotshell propellants are recommended and used to maintain the combustion
efficiency, creates the real possibility of ‘‘DOUBLE CHARGING.’’ THIS WILL HAVE DISAS-
TROUS RESULTS. Please verify and check each and every loaded case with a marked
plunger before inserting/crimping the bullets. Haste in this case is not worth the risk!!!!
Shotshell Calibers:
The charge tables for shotshell cartridges are to be used as a guideline. Variations can
occur, although to a lesser degree than with metallic centerfire calibers. Even when the exact
same components are used, the difference due to case condition, crimp, and primer may cause
variations beyond what is normally being accepted and/or assumed. Shot shell calibers are
especially sensitive to variations in primers and assembly procedures. The normal varia-
tion in primers even from one manufacturer will result in different ballistics. The shot
weights listed in this booklet are for lead shot; steel shot may not be substituted.
If you find indications of excessive pressure while using loads in this guide STOP
TESTING, and verify all data and loading procedures. If things seem to be in order, check
with our lab personnel before proceeding. The phone number to use is (931) 729 4207.

SPECIAL WARNINGS!!!
Concerning the internal dimensions and configurations of centerfire
metallic calibers, especially Semi-auto pistols. This warning is not aimed at
specific weapons, but any weapon with the conditions or dimensions as described
below. Accurate Arms did not compile special data for any weapon.
Chamber dimensions:
It is extremely important to note that due to aftermarket modifications and
for certain factory produced semi-auto pistols, some pistols have chamber config-
urations that do not fully support the chambered cartridge case.
This modification is incorporated to aid in the reliable feeding of the round
from the magazine. Although this practice is acceptable with some calibers such
as the 45ACP which generate relatively low pressures, this kind of incomplete
support can be a real problem with high performance calibers such as the
9mmx19P, 38Super, 40S&W and 10mm Auto calibers. Although it might also be
acceptable for first fired conditions such as factory ammunition, or new unused
cases, a potential hazardous condition can be created when cases are reloaded
for the second or subsequent time. Whenever a deformed case results after
firing (e.g., a bulged or ‘‘pregnant’’ shape from the base of the main body
towards one third to half of the case body), it is a sure sign that the case is not
fully supported. Although this bulged part is reformed during resizing, the case
strength could be weakened. The problem occurs when this part of the weakened
case again lines up with the modified part of the chamber. This will then cause
the case to fail and the gasses to be ejected into the internal cavity of the weapon.
The loading data published by Accurate Arms was developed in our ballistic
laboratory in accordance with SAAMI test methods and equipment and does not
exceed Maximum Average Pressure recommended by SAAMI. This information
is safe for use in firearms which provide complete support of the case. Failure
to fully support the case with cartridges of such intensity may result in bulged
cases, ruptured cases, separated case heads or other consequences which may
result in destruction/damage to the firearm and/or injury or death to the shooter
and/or bystanders. This can happen no matter whose propellant is used.
We recommend that if you own a firearm where the chamber does not fully
support the chambered round and is producing the above mentioned symptoms,
you contact the manufacturer to determine if the case is fully supported, or have
6
7
/ 18907/ACCURATE ARMS—2003 Loading Manual (01-07-03 17:00:38)
a competent gunsmith examine the firearm and determine the amount of support
provided the case.
If your firearm does not provide complete support for the case, please take
extreme care and refrain from reloading cases.
Unconventional internal rifling/bore profiles
in conjunction with cast/lead bullets
This concerns the combination of using cast/lead bullets with rifling configu-
rations other than the standard ‘‘square’’ land and groove profile.
In order to properly engage the bullet, any barrel with an unconventional
rifling profile needs to have an extremely tight bore diameter. When lead/cast
bullets are used in conjunction with these types of barrels, it is extremely impor-
tant to properly select the correct type, size (diameter) and hardness of the bullet.
Any bullet material that might collect in the freebore/throat area will cause a
delay in bullet displacement during firing, which will have disastrous results.
This is especially true in the case of typical high performance auto pistol
calibers such as the 9mmx19P, 40S&W, 10mm Auto etc, and in the case of high
performance 45ACP+P loads.
We recommend that the shooter/reloader always be aware of the level of
leading that is occurring for their combination. Any excessive build up of material
should prompt the cleaning of the bore. When plated cast bullets are used, make
absolutely sure it is of the best quality possible with no possibility of separation
of the plated material form the lead core.
Accurate Arms Company has felt it necessary to place these warnings
because the continued safety and welfare of the shooting public compels
us to do so.

Accurate
Smokeless Propellants
The
Accurate
Smokeless Propellants listed below are in approximate burning order from fastest to
slowest within each group. All propellants are manufactured with nitro-cotton as the main energetic ingredient.
Double base propellants have NG or nitroglycerine as the second energetic ingredient.
PISTOL PROPELLANTS
No. 2 An extremely fast burning, double base ball-type handgun powder specifically designed to have a
relatively low loading density. A very clean burning powder that is well suited for low-performance and low
loading density applications like Cowboy Action. It is certainly the most efficient and cost effective ball-type
powder available for handgun loads.
No. 5 A fast burning, double base, ball-type handgun powder. This powder is extremely versatile and can
be used in all handgun calibers. No. 5 can be used over a wide performance range from low performance
target and Cowboy Action applications to full power defense loads. The powder meters well and strikes a
good balance between ballistics and cost efficiency.
No. 7 An intermediate burning, double base, ball-type handgun powder. This is a good choice for high
performance handgun calibers, especially those designed and used on semi-auto pistols such as the .357
SIG, .400 Corbon, 10mm Auto etc. It is also suitable for the magnum revolver calibers as a cost effective
alternative to the slower burning powders normally used for the magnum cartridges.
No. 9 A slow burning, double base, ball-type handgun powder. The powder is suitable for standard
magnum handgun calibers such as .357 Magnum and the .44 Magnum as well as the extreme magnum
calibers such as .454 Casull, .450 Extreme and .50 Action Express. A good all-around powder that will serve
a wide range of high performance handgun applications.
4100 This is a slow burning, double base, ball-type handgun powder that was originally designed for the
.410 shotgun. The powder is well suited for large capacity handgun cartridges like .44 Magnum, .454
Casull, .450 Extreme, .50 Action Express, etc. when maximum velocity is required (e.g., hunting, silhouette).
The load data is limited so No. 9 can be used as guideline and the charge increased by approximately 3%.
RIFLE PROPELLANTS
1680 An extremely fast burning, double base, ball-type rifle powder that is Accurate’s fastest rifle powder.
This powder suits some large capacity handgun cartridges like .50 Action Express, as well as low capacity
rifle calibers such as the 7.62mmx39 and .22 Hornet. This powder is also well suited for light bullets in
.222 Rem and .223 Rem and for intermediate type straight-walled calibers like the .449LW and .444 Marlin etc.
5744 An extremely fast burning, double base, extruded rifle powder. This unique powder can be used in
both extreme magnum handgun and a wide range of rifle calibers. The powder is characterized by excellent
ignitability and consistency over a very wide performance range. The ignitability coupled with the ‘‘bulki-
ness’’ makes this powder an excellent choice for use in reduced loads for many rifle calibers and in large
capacity obsolete black powder calibers such as the .45–70Gov, .45–90/-110/-120 and the .50–90 through
.50–120 Type calibers.
2015 A very fast burning, single base, extruded rifle powder. The powder was developed around the .223
Rem type calibers. Very popular in .22 and 6mm calibers especially the’’ PPC’’ and ‘‘BR’’ designated calibers.
Works well in large bore calibers (e.g., .45–70 Gov, .458 Win Mag, and the old black powder .45 and .50
calibers) as it provides a well-balanced loading density which decreases powder position sensitivity.
2230 A very fast burning, double base, ball-type rifle powder. This versatile powder was designed around
the .223 Rem caliber but can be used in many small and medium sized calibers including the .308 Win.
It flows very well and is ideal for the shooter utilizing auto loading machines for Semi-auto rifles such as
the AR15. Works well in large bore calibers (e.g., .45–70 Gov, .458 Win Mag, and the old black powder .45
and .50 calibers) as it provides a well-balanced loading density which decreases powder position sensitivity.
2460 A fast burning, double base, ball-type rifle powder that is a slower derivative of the 2230 powder. Is
suitable for small and medium sized caliber applications but with slightly higher loading densities than
2230. It provides an additional option to shooters in order to fine tune and optimize loads and combinations

with calibers ranging from the .223 Rem, .308 Win and for light bullets in .30–06Springfield. Within threshold
limit for M1/M14 systems.
2495 A medium fast burning, single base, extruded rifle powder that was developed around the .308 Win.
and can be used over a very wide range of calibers. It’s extremely popular for use in the .308 Win and .30–06
Service shooting disciplines. This versatile powder has good ignition characteristics, and when combined
with the progressive burn rate, can be used over a wide performance range while maintaining good consistency.
2520 A medium fast burning, double base, ball-type rifle powder that was designed around the .308Win.
This powder is extremely popular with service shooters and is known as the ‘‘Camp Perry’’ powder. An
excellent choice for use in the .308 Winchester and also the .30–06 Springfield. This versatile powder has
excellent flow characteristics and is within the threshold limit for M1/M14 systems.
4064 A medium fast burning, single base, extruded rifle powder that is similar to IMR 4064 but with a
short cut that provides for better flow. This versatile powder works well in calibers ranging from standard
.30–06 Springfield to necked-down calibers such as .22–250, .220 Swift, 7x57 Mauser etc. Popular with
service shooters, this powder still falls within the threshold limits for the M1 system, making it about the
slowest extruded powder suitable for this application.
2700 A medium fast burning, double base, ball-type rifle powder that is ideally suited for medium capacity
necked down calibers such as the .22–250 Remington, .220 Swift, .243 Winchester, .270 Winchester etc.
This powder is suited for both medium- and over-bore calibers, making it very popular with varmint hunters.
Will also flow well in auto-loaders and volumetric dispensing equipment.
4350 A medium slow burning, single base, extruded rifle powder that is very similar to IMR 4350. A very
popular powder which can be used in a wide range of calibers from the standard .30–06 Springfield to
‘‘overbore’’ calibers such as 7mm Rem. Mag, .300 WSM and .300 Winchester Magnum etc. Excellent for
the large capacity, large bore calibers like the .375 H & H providing a balance between ballistic performance
and loading densities.
3100 A slow burning, single base, extruded rifle powder specifically designed for large capacity overbore
magnum calibers such as the 7mm Rem Mag, .264 Win Mag, etc. It provides for high loading densities in
these calibers and at full to slightly compressed loads in the medium sized overbore calibers (.243 Win
and .270 Win). Will also work well in the new series of WSM and Remington SAUM calibers.
MAGPRO A slow burning, double base, ball-type rifle powder developed specifically for all the new Short
Magnum calibers of both Winchester (WSM) and Remington (SAUM) except for .300 SAUM. This powder
excels in the 7mm WSM as well as the .270 WSM and even derivatives of the wildcat 6.5 Short Action.
Excellent in all overbore magnums such as the ULTRA magnums from Remington i.e. 7mm RUM, .338
RUM as well as the high performance .338 Lapua Magnum. Excellent flow in progressive auto-loaders
and volumetric dispensing equipment. This is THE magnum rifle powder to have.
8700 An extremely slow burning, double base, ball-type rifle powder which is Accurate’s slowest powder.
It was originally developed for the .50 Browning (12.7mmx99 Nato). This powder delivers optimum perfor-
mance in heavily necked down large capacity calibers such as the .257 Weatherby Magnum, .264 Win
Mag and 7mm RUM. This powder is so slow that even at maximum and compressed loading densities, it
is virtually impossible to cause any over pressure.
SHOTSHELL PROPELLANTS
NITRO 100 Accurate’s fastest burning, double base, flake shotgun powder. Besides being a cost effective
choice for all 12 gauge applications, Nitro 100 is also an ideal powder for low pressure/low loading density
handgun cartridges such as target and Cowboy Action shooting. It is a robust powder which is very clean
burning in all the mentioned applications.
SOLO 1000 An extremely fast burning, single base, flake shotgun powder. Solo 1000 was the pioneer in
the clean burning revolution and is an excellent choice for trap, sporting clays and skeet shooting. An ultra
clean burning powder best suited for 12 gauge shotgun loads but which is also suited for target handgun
loads in .45 ACP and Cowboy Action.
SOLO 1250 A fast burning, single base, flake shotgun powder. Works well with heavier shot loads in 12
gauge and for all shotshell applications through 28 gauge. Solo 1250 is slightly faster burning than IMR’s
PB powder. Can also be loaded in some handgun loads for target and cowboy action.

OF CHILDREN
Ammunition handloading has become increasingly popular in recent years. This leaflet discusses proper-
ties of smokeless powder and offers recommendations for its storage. This leaflet is intended to increase
the knowledge of all concerned individuals and groups regarding smokeless powder. The statements and
recommendations made are not intended to supersede local, state or Federal regulations. Proper authori-
ties should be consulted on regulations for storage and use of smokeless powder in each specific commu-
nity. A second leaflet entitled ‘‘SPORTING AMMUNITION PRIMERS: PROPERTIES, HANDLING, &
STORAGE FOR HANDLOADING’’ supplements this leaflet on Smokeless Powders.
PROPERTIES OF SMOKELESS POWDER
Smokeless powders, or propellants, are essentially mixtures of chemicals designed to burn under controlled
conditions at the proper rate to propel a projectile from a gun. Smokeless powders are made in three forms:
1. Thin, circular flakes or wafers
2. Small cylinders
3. Small spheres
Single-base smokeless powders derive their main source of energy from nitrocellulose.
The energy released from double-base smokeless powders is derived from both nitrocellulose and nitro-
glycerin.
All smokeless powders are extremely flammable; by design, they are intended to burn rapidly and vigor-
ously when ignited.
Oxygen from the air is not necessary for the combustion of smokeless powders since they contain sufficient
built-in oxygen to burn completely, even in an enclosed space such as the chamber of a firearm.
In effect, ignition occurs when the powder granules are heated above their ignition temperature. This can
occur by exposing powder to:
1. A flame such as a match or primer flash.
2. An electrical spark or the sparks from welding, grinding, etc.
3. Heat from an electric hot plate or a fire directed against or near a closed container even
if the powder itself is not exposed to the flame.
When smokeless powder burns, a great deal of gas at high temperature is formed. If the powder is confined,
this gas will create pressure in the surrounding structure. The rate of gas generation is such, however,
that the pressure can be kept at a low level if sufficient space is available or if the gas can escape.

In this respect smokeless powder differs from blasting agents or high explosives such as dynamite or
blasting gelatin, although smokeless powder may contain chemical ingredients common to some of
these products.
High explosives such as dynamite are made to detonate, that is, to change from solid state to gaseous
state with evolution of intense heat at such a rapid rate that shock waves are propagated through any
medium in contact with them. Such shock waves exert pressure on anything they contact, and, as a matter
of practical consideration, it is almost impossible to satisfactorily vent away the effects of a detonation
involving any appreciable quantity of dynamite.
Smokeless powder differs considerably in its burning characteristics from common ‘‘black powder.’’
Black powder burns essentially at the same rate out in the open (unconfined) as when in a gun.
When ignited in an unconfined state, smokeless powder burns inefficiently with an orange colored flame.
It produces a considerable amount of light brown noxious smelling smoke. It leaves a residue of ash and
partially burned powder. THE FLAME IS HOT ENOUGH TO CAUSE SEVERE BURNS.
The opposite is true when it burns under pressure as in a cartridge fired in a gun. Then it produces very
little smoke, a small glow, and leaves very little or no residue. The burning rate of smokeless powder
increases with increased pressure.
If burning smokeless powder is confined, gas pressure will rise and eventually can cause the container to
burst. Under such circumstances, the bursting of a strong container creates effects similar to an explosion.
For this reason, the Department of Transportation (formerly Interstate Commerce Commission) sets specifi-
cations for shipping containers for propellants and requires tests of loaded containers—under actual fire
conditions—before approving them for use.
When smokeless powder in D.O.T. approved containers is ignited during such tests, container seams split
open or lids pop off—to release gases and powder from confinement at low pressure.
HOW TO CHECK SMOKELESS POWDER FOR DETERIORATION
Although modern smokeless powders are basically free from deterioration under proper storage conditions,
safe practices require a recognition of the signs of deterioration and its possible effects.
Powder deterioration can be checked by opening the cap on the container and smelling the contents.
Powder undergoing deterioration has an irritating acidic odor. (Don’t confuse this with common solvent
odors such as alcohol, ether and acetone.)
Check to make certain that powder is not exposed to extreme heat as this may cause deterioration. Such
exposure produces an acidity which accelerates further reaction and has been known, because of the
heat generated by the reaction, to cause spontaneous combustion.
Never salvage powder from old cartridges and do not attempt to blend salvaged powder with new powder.
Don’t accumulate old powder stocks.
The best way to dispose of deteriorated smokeless powder is to burn it out in the open at an isolated
location in small shallow piles (not over 1" deep). The quantity burned in any one pile should never exceed
one pound. Use an ignition train of slow burning combustible material so that the person may retreat to a
safe distance before powder is ignited.
CONSIDERATIONS FOR STORAGE OF SMOKELESS POWDER
Smokeless powder is intended to function by burning, so it must be protected against accidental exposure
to flame, sparks or high temperatures.
For these reasons, it is desirable that storage enclosures be made of insulating materials to protect the
powder from external heat sources.
Once smokeless powder begins to burn, it will normally continue to burn (and generate gas pressure) until
it is consumed.
D.O.T. approved containers are constructed to open up at low internal pressures to avoid the effects
normally produced by the rupture or bursting of a strong container.
Storage enclosures for smokeless powder should be constructed in a similar manner:

1. Of fire resistant and heat-insulating materials to protect contents from external heat.
2. Sufficiently large to satisfactorily vent the gaseous products of combustion which would
result if the quantity of smokeless powder within the enclosure accidentally ignited.
If a small, tightly enclosed storage enclosure is loaded to capacity with containers of smokeless powder
the walls of the enclosure will expand or move outwards to release the gas pressure—if the powder in
storage is accidentally ignited.
Under such conditions, the effects of the release of gas pressure are similar or identical to the effects
produced by an explosion.
Hence only the smallest practical quantities of smokeless powder should be kept in storage, and then in
strict compliance with all applicable regulations and recommendations of the National Fire Protection
Association (reprinted at end of leaflet).
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR STORAGE OF SMOKELESS POWDER
STORE IN A COOL, DRY PLACE. Be sure the storage area is free from any possible sources of excess
heat and is isolated from open flame, furnaces, hot water heaters, etc. Do not store smokeless powder
where it will be exposed to the sun’s rays. Avoid storage in areas where mechanical or electrical equipment
is in operation. Restrict from the storage areas heat or sparks which may result from improper, defective
or overloaded electrical circuits.
DO NOT STORE SMOKELESS POWDER IN THE SAME AREA WITH SOLVENTS, FLAMMABLE GASES
OR HIGHLY COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS.
STORE ONLY IN DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION APPROVED CONTAINERS.
Do not transfer the powder from an approved container into one which is not approved.
DO NOT SMOKE IN AREAS WHERE POWDER IS STORED OR USED. Place appropriate ‘‘No Smoking’’
signs in these areas.
DO NOT SUBJECT THE STORAGE CABINETS TO CLOSE CONFINEMENT.
STORAGE CABINETS SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTED OF INSULATING MATERIALS AND WITH A WEAK
WALL, SEAMS OR JOINTS TO PROVIDE AN EASY MEANS OF SELF-VENTING.
DO NOT KEEP OLD OR SALVAGED POWDERS. Check old powders for deterioration regularly. Destroy
deteriorated powders immediately.
OBEY ALL REGULATIONS REGARDING QUANTITY AND METHODS OF STORING. Do not store all your

COWBOY ACTION DATA 22 COWBOY ACTION DATA
COWBOY ACTION SHOOTING
This relatively new shooting sport is enjoying ever increasing popularity. As the name implies, cowboy
action shooting involves a less formal (read, more fun) combination of rifle, shotgun and handgun competi-
tion. Typically both male and female participants don Old West-style costumes and use original or replica
blackpowder-style firearms. Cowboy action shooting has had a definite impact on the world of shooting
and reloading.
From our viewpoint as a propellant supplier the resurgence of several old, originally black powder,
cartridges created a challenging situation. Firearms made during the original cowboy era fired cartridges
designed for black powder, which was the only propellant available 125 years ago. These older cartridges
present a special set of problems when loaded with modern smokeless propellants. They are of a relatively
high case capacity, even with modern solid head case design, because they were originally developed to
use black powder. We are also restricted to low chamber pressures because of the firearms that they are
chambered in. Even modern replicas, made of newer and better steels, are still true to the original designs
and the low pressure limits must still be observed in the interest of shooter safety and longevity of the
firearm. Those firearms originally built for black powder are probably best loaded with black powder, as
the steel used then is inferior to that used in later production and the current replicas.
As we developed data for these cartridges we paid particular attention to propellant selection in
balancing the large case capacity with the low pressure limit in order to achieve consistent ignition and
good accuracy. The sport of Cowboy Shooting emphasizes low velocity and low recoil loads. These are
desirable from the standpoint of shooter safety since the targets are steel and the ranges short. The low
recoil reduces shooter fatigue and allows a quicker recovery time between shots during competition. These
low velocity loads are quite sufficient to the task of knocking over target plates.
The following loads are tailored to meet the needs of the modern ‘‘Cowboy Action Shooter.’’ They
should be used exactly as shown with no reductions in charge weight. Bullet weight and type should be
as closely matched as is feasible, as should the overall length of the loaded round. Care must be exercised
to match the bullet diameter to the inside diameter of the cylinder throat. Undersize bullets will NOT
perform well. They allow the already low gas pressure to flow past the base of the bullet and along the
sides. This gas flow vaporizes lead from the bullet surface and deposits it in the cylinder and barrel making
the gun harder to clean and usually deteriorating accuracy. The gas loss also reduces the pressure reached
and results in poor ignition, lower velocity and more residue from the propellant combustion. It is also very
important to have a high bullet pull. A tight fit between the case mouth and the bullet greatly aids ignition.
Low bullet pull can and usually does ruin an otherwise excellent load.
Cowboy Action loads operate at pressures that are not compatible with many modern propellants.
The propellants from the Accurate and Scot product line used in developing this data have proven suitable
for the loads listed, but your favorite propellant may not necessarily work in every cartridge you might
wish. Because of the low charge weight most of these cartridges could hold a double charge of
propellant, perhaps more. It behooves the loader, therefore, to exercise caution and rigorously inspect
his ammunition throughout the loading process to ensure that this doesn’t happen. DO NOT ASSUME IT
CAN’T HAPPEN TO YOU—IT CAN! We here in the customer service department at Accurate Arms
Company hope that you, the shooter, will find this data of value in pursuing your favorite pastime. If you
have any questions or comments please don’t hesitate to call us at 931-729-4207, Monday through Friday,
8:00 am – 4:30 pm, central time.

SHOTSHELL DATA
The data that follows was developed in test barrels with a bore diameter of 0.725" for 12-guage.
Some overbored barrels may give different pressures and velocities.
Please note that after setting up your loading machine for the specific combination of components
that you desire, BE SURE TO WEIGH THE INITIAL POWDER CHARGES THROWN BY THE CHARGE
BAR. Because of many variable conditions, seldom does the charge thrown match up exactly with the
charge listed in the load bushing tables. These variations can be caused by humidity changes, bulk density
variations of the powder, and the way each machine is operated. Please use caution when you start
reloading on a specific day or when you change component lots.

A QUICK GUIDE TO SHOTSHELL PRIMERS
(Approximately in Increasing Order of Strength)
Abbreviation/Manufacturer/SupplierComments
REM 209P (STS) Remington Arms Corp— A medium primer, well-suited to the Scot propellant line but
may require a slightly higher charge weight of propellant than hotter primers for equal ballistics.
CCI 209 Blount Industries—A medium strength primer. Suitable for use with all Scot propellants. Do not
confuse with the CCI 209M which is hotter.
WIN 209 Olin-Winchester Div.—A medium strength primer. Suitable for use with all Scot propellants.
CHED 209 Cheddite—Very similar to Winchester 209 primers in our testing.
FIO 616 Fiocchi SPA/Italy—A ‘‘magnum’’ strength primer. The 616 is of a slightly larger diameter. It is
suitable for use with all Scot propellants.
CCI209M Blount Industries—A ‘‘magnum’’ strength primer, suitable for use with all Scot propellants. This
primer will produce higher pressures than the CCI 209.
FED209A Federal Cartridge Co.—A ‘‘magnum’’ strength primer developed by Federal as a replacement
for their FED 209. This primer is much more powerful and must not be directly substituted for the FED
209 as excessive pressure will result.
