WARNING: 
Rocky –
With this powder I had very good accuracy and average velocity in my 45-70 Marlin. Left a lot of unburned powder in my bore. Max loadings reduce but don’t eliminate the issue. Tried it in 30-30 with cast bullets with poor results.
Mk Pyselman –
This powder has the same pressure as black powder with out the mess of black powder. I use it in all my large caliber black powder rifles. When loaded properly each bullet shoots the same. And very accurate.
Allan –
Accurate 5744 is what l use for straight wall cartridges in .45/70 and .45/90 with great success!

I ordered this powder to reload for my Pedersoli Sharps 45-70. This and IMR 3031 seem to be the most accurate. You use a lot less with 5744 so it’s more bang for the buck.
