About this powder
2400 is a legendary extruded powder dating to the 1920s. Originally developed for the .45 ACP, it found its true calling in small-bore varmint rifles like the .22 Hornet and .218 Bee, and magnum revolvers like the .357 and .44 Mag. One of the few extruded powders that meters reasonably well.
