Take Notice — Recall of Accurate 2495, 4064, 4350 Powders
Readers — if you reload with Accurate-brand 2495, 4064, or 4350 powders, check your containers now! Accurate Powder is recalling certain lots of these powders in both 1-lb and 8-lb containers. This is serious. The manufacturer says: “The use or storage of this product may result in combustion, fire damage, and/or possible serious injury or property damage.” The problematic powders being recalled were manufactured for Western Powders Inc. prior to 10/1/2016, but they may have been sold anytime after that.
Check the Lot Number on the back or bottom of the containers. The lot number is the last digit or last two digits (right-most digits). Here are the recalled lots:
Accurate 2495 Lots 2-17 | Accurate 4064 Lots 2-16 | Accurate 4350 Lots 2-22
If you have any of the affected powder you should fill the container immediately with WATER. Then contact Western Powders at 406-234-0422 or customerservice@westernpowders.com .

Recall tip from EdLongrange. We welcome reader submissions.
You Should Inspect Your Powder Supplies Now
This Powder Recall was first announced in November 2019, but we are repeating it now for our readers who may still be unaware of the issue. Some of our Forum members have observed some powder degradation with affected lots. But they also report that the refunds were handled promptly and fairly.
Member Snert noted: “I went through my inventory and found an 8-pounder and a 1-pounder, 2495 and 4350 respectively. The 4350 was going….changing color and stunk, red mist. The 2495 hadn’t obviously gone, but was part of the recall.
I called and the process is easy. Read the tags and tell em what you have. Write down the info they give you. Take a photo of the product and tag, send your contact info and a claim number. I found that they are sending me back more money than I paid. Very fair refund. I was happy with the customer service. Stand-up guys who were helpful. I’d buy from them again.” READ FORUM Recall thread.

I made my call this morning, and could not be happier with how I was treated. He gave me a number that I photographed alongside the label that shows the lot number, and emailed it in. The whole thing went very quickly. I will be getting a check for $35 as reimbursement for my pound of Accurate 4350.
I have a can of 2495. Lot number 11111411. I had contacted your office by phone. They were to respond but I have not heard from them. Do you have a phone number where I could take a pic with cell phone and send to you.

I have a 1# can of 4350 lot# 12111516
found the article in Sept 2020 of
HANDLOADER about recall.
Is there still refunding availble?
I have a quantity of Accurate Arms
2495 BR powder. The label indicates Accurate Arms in McEwen, Tennessee.
The lot number is 5 digits long. Since this is 2495 with a BR suffix, can I assume it is not part of the Western Powder2495 recall?
Please advise
Thanks
