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.
Why shooters pick Accurate #5
-
Fast burn tailored for light shotshell target loads.
-
Flattened‑spherical grains for very consistent metering.
-
Clean-burning formula reduces fouling and maintenance time.
-
Works reliably in progressive and single-stage presses.
-
Available in 1 lb (hobby) and 8 lb (club/shop) sizes.
Best uses & notes
Use Accurate #5 for:
-
12‑gauge light target loads (1‑oz, 7/8‑oz target recipes).
-
Sporting clays, skeet, and trap practice loads.
-
Some fast-handgun recipes when manufacturer data supports use.
Always consult Accurate’s published load tables before loading. Start with the recommended starting charge. Work up slowly while watching for pressure signs and consistency with chosen hulls, wads, and shot.
