You need a spout or funnel cap for your powder canister. Hodgdon and TC sell them. You will also need an adjustable powder measure that goes from 80 to 120 volumetric grains of powder. Do not forget that 100 grains by volume of BH 209 does not equate to 100 grains by weight. The latter is about 150 grains by volume and is above the recommended maximum charge of BH 209.

You will also need something to clean the carbon fouling out of the breech plug's flash channel. On my TC Encore, I use a 1/8 inch drill bit that I turn by hand. Not sure what the diameter of the flash channel is on the Accura. Finally, you will need a tight fitting bullet-sabot combo. Loading pressure should be about 30-40 pounds.
