    As I recall, the powder is made in Yugoslavia. At one time I know the factory made accurate #2 which is now made elsewhere. I've used it in 45 ACP and it was as good as any other powder in my tests of it. The price is right and there is data on their site. Give it a try.

    Made by Explosia, the makers of Lovex powders and Accurate powders. The Accurate I used for 308 in FAL and M14 was great stuff.
    If I can find it locally at ~$20 a pound I'll give it a try out. Maybe down in VA? Not worth ordering it if paying HAZMAT and shipping bring it up to Alliant/Hodgdon/IMR retail prices.
    They have chart that shows the Lovex number and Accurate Canister name on the their website. Also both Lovex and "Shooter's World" data.

    I've used 'no-name' powders before with good results. I have not used this brand, but as long as they come with comparative usage scales(for lack of a better word) as in "load the same as Titegroup" for instance, I would try a lb.

    Example: they say Shooter's World Auto Pistol by Lovex "has a similar burn rate to Accurate No. 5". But also say to only use their published load data.

    Can't comment on the 308 stuff but Accurate 2230 (great stuff for.223/5.56) is made in Belgium. Once upon a time AA2230 was made in Israel, but no more, it just shows the global nature of this business, here today, somewhere else tomorrow.
