I'm shooting 18 grains of 5744 under the RCBS 257120 in a 25-06 Encore. The velocity average is 1670 and the load is pleasingly accurate, regularly delivering 1 1/4" groups at 75 yards. But it gets the barrel hot in a hurry. 5 rounds will get the barrel hot enough that while I can touch it, I don't want to shoot more through it till it cools. As I shoot in my back yard and only load 5 cases at a time, it is not so big a deal, but I do plan on taking this load to a prarie dog shoot for short range plinking. Anyone else shooting 5744 in anything notice it heating up the barrel quickly?
