folks
I am looking for load ideas as i use this powder alot 24.0 5744 and the 185 grain LEE in 7.62x54R shoots good. Wondering if anyone uses it in 44mag with 240-310grain boolits wanting to use it in 7.62x39 and 308 and 7.62x54R with the 155 gr Lee.

Tried it in .44 revolvers and it did not do as well as 4227 or H110. I lean more toward 4759 as an all around boolit rifle powder.

well I would like to get loads for 5744.......my savage muzzleloader uses it. would be nice to get to one powder for all in case SHTF.......seriously 3-4 8lb kegs would last for years
