    After seeing this I contacted Western only to be told my 2 cans of 2495 were on the list. Told to destroy it and they are going to send me $70.00 check for replacement. Check arrived on Friday 11/28. Good people to deal with.

    bump, cause I just got this in my inbox... good thing my supply of Accurate powders did not include the below..

    General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems Canada Valleyfield, Inc (GD-OTS), has determined a potential defect relating to certain lots of Accurate 2495, 4064 and 4350 propellants manufactured for Western Powders, Inc. prior to October 1, 2016 and packaged under the Accurate brand name in 1 lb. and 8 lb. canisters, may be defective.



    The use or storage of this product may result in combustion, fire damage and/or possible serious injury or property damage. Some signs of degradation include, but are not limited to, container lid deformation, discoloration of the containers in the lid area, presence of red fumes when the container lid is opened, or the presence of a strong acidic odor.

    What you should do:
    1) Immediately fill the container with water, which will render the product inert and safe for disposal.

    2) Notify Western Powders, Inc. and 406-234-0422, or customerservice@westernpowders.com
    . We will provide you with instructions to photograph the bottle showing the lot number and provide refund information.

    3) DO NOT load ammunition with affected powder


    NOTE: This recall does not extend to loaded ammunition. Performance of ammunition with propellant showing no signs of degradation will not be altered, provided recommended storage conditions are followed. It is recommended that loaded ammunition be checked regularly for deterioration.

    Safety is our first concern. If you have any questions regarding this recall, contact us at:
    406-234-0422
    customerservice@westernpowders.com


    Please allow at least 2 business days for a response.
