not Wiltshire, but Andy Allwood in Bracknell used to stock Accurate powders (and still does according to his website ) and as long as you arrange it with him you could well pick it up when you are next at Bisley TFSA

I understand that many Accurate powders are made in Czech republic by explosia, who market them in Europe as Lovex.

The explosia website has load data and the powders are pretty reasonably priced.

Thanks for that, main reason I ask is all the load data that came with my .223 was for accurate 2460 so was after that really, though there is likely a lovex equiv. not sure anyone local stocks loved though!

I have had both brands from Andy in the past, at the moment I'm making do with Amirs N140

OH yeah, I've got some of that to be getting on with too! I'm just after some of the 2460 to tide me over til I can sort my own 69gr loads. Though I've got about 150 rds of a-max loaded over Tac that I loaded for the remmy that I'm hoping will shoot ok in the CZ to see me through.

Just be aware that if you buy the Lovex powders, they have been slightly reformulated with a higher percentage of nitroglycerine to nitrocellulose - I have found this makes them significantly dirtier (and I suspect more corrosive) in use than the Accurate variant, to the extent that I have pretty much stopped using the othewise excellent D073.6 now.

Mind you, the Lovex importer Westlander's website has been down for ages, so I don't know if there's a current source.

That N140 is going well in my .308, especially now I'm necksizing.

Reminds me I still owe you those Noslers Boydy- will try and post them out this week!

I've just looked and the ageing tub of 2460 that came with the rifle actually has a sticker on it saying Lovex D073 sold under license as 2460. To be honest there's a hundred or so round's worth in there I'd say so I'll load up the 100 v-max I bought yesterday and that will def tide me over until I get another load sorted with the N140.

Still after some N160 if you ever want to relive the nightmare mate!!

No rush mate, I've just realised its the club shoot next weekend and I've got about 300 rds to load before then!!

I know someone in somerset with a good stock of SO60 Lovex.

No offence, but have you any references to this claim of increased (indeed ANY) corrosion? Thats a serious claim after all.
