Description
Accurate #5 Smokeless Powder — 1 lb & 8 lb Containers
Accurate #5 Powder in Stock
The Accurate #5 powder in stock is a fast-burning, clean-smoke propellant made for light 12‑gauge target loads and certain fast handgun recipes. It meters smoothly, burns cleanly, and produces tight velocity strings. Clubs and competitive shooters favor #5 for consistent performance and lower maintenance between strings.
This powder works well in progressive presses and single-stage presses. It reduces residue, so barrels stay cleaner longer. SelfDefenceUSA ships factory-sealed containers with lot traceability and insured U.S. delivery.

Flattened‑spherical grains for very consistent metering.
-
Clean-burning formula reduces fouling and maintenance time.
-

-
12‑gauge light target loads (1‑oz, 7/8‑oz target recipes).
-
Sporting clays, skeet, and trap practice loads.
