    Accurate Powder Recall for 2495, 4064, and 4350



    November 18, 2019

    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.

    GD-OTS and Western Powders Inc. are recalling the following powders packaged under the Accurate brand in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers.

    The Lot Number is located either in a box on the back of the label or as a sticker on the bottom of the container.

    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. at 406-234-0422, or [email protected].
    3. We will provide you with a instructions to photograph the bottle showing the lot number and provide refund information.
    4. 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.

    We apologize for the inconvenience, but safety is our first concern. Contact us at 406-234-0422 if you have any questions regarding this recall.
    My two 1lb cans of 4064 (pictured below in background) were part of the recall. I'm working with them now for a refund.
