| I don't have any data for 5744 powder. I would think it would make a good plinking load. Do have some loads with Trail Boss. Let us know what you come up with. |

| 5744 works quite well in these big cases and requires no filler. I'd try 60grs-70grs with an 800gr bullet and go from there.-Rob

Thanks Rob, I did test 60, 65, & 70 grns in a 1 round firing. The 60grn left a fair amount of powder residue in the barrel. The 65 & 70 looked & felt good so I'm testing a few of each for speed & accuracy next.   |
