I have a couple of cans of 5744 so I may try it in the 50-70. Will be using it in my 45-90 High Wall.

Sorry to hear that Sir. I have had the pleasure of back problems in the past. No fun at all. I got some PP bullets from the chap I bought my 50-90 from. They came from a KAL mold at 1.6 inches long...

Hi Folks. Hope everyone is staying safe during these difficult days. My Shiloh Sharps 74 in 50-90 has a 22 or 24 ROT according to the previous owner. I have read lots here about not getting accuracy...
