Accurate LT-30 Smokeless Gun Powder: Light Target Powder for Benchrest Precision

Accurate LT-30 is a single-base extruded “Light Target” rifle powder built for benchrest and small-capacity cartridges, offering the uniform metering and clean ignition competitive shooters depend on for tight groups.

Built for Benchrest Precision

LT-30 is a fine-grained, single-base extruded powder — the “LT” stands for Light Target, reflecting Accurate’s line of benchrest-grade target powders. On the combined burn-rate chart, LT-30 sits close to Accurate 5744 and burns slightly faster than its sibling Accurate LT-32. Its uniform grain size delivers smooth metering and consistent charge weights, which translates to the minimal velocity variation benchrest and small-bore competitors need.

Application Versatility

LT-30 was developed specifically for .30 BR, and also has official published load data for .222 Remington (bullet weights roughly 35-55gr) and 6mm PPC (bullet weights roughly 55-95gr). If you need a slightly slower-burning Light Target option, Accurate LT-32 is worth comparing.

Load Development

Always use published, manufacturer-tested load data when developing loads with LT-30. Start at the published minimum charge and work up in small increments, weigh every charge on a calibrated scale, and chronograph each string to track velocity consistency. Keep primer brand, bullet lot, and brass lot constant during development, watch for pressure signs, and document charge weight, seating depth, primer, and chronograph results so successful loads can be reproduced.
