I know theres a couple there. I almost bought some 5744 about a half hour ago but i think I've seen it cheaper so decided to wait. I'm definitely interested in hearing about them as well.

42gr of 5744 and a 200gr xtp in a harvester smooth blue sabot gave me wicked good accuracy and 2260 to 2290 fps in my 45cal with a 24in barrel.

This should work well with sabotless also. Just shy of 4759

40gr. 5744, Barnes 195 light knurl, Harvester crush-rib light blue = 2200fps.
Stacks them out of two Encore conversions, both 24".

If you decide to go ever go sabotless it works pretty well as an initial powder in a duplex load with 4198.

Coyote: What amount do you use as a starter?

Both the 40 and the 42gr 5744 loads puts them in the same hole. 40 or 42gr of imr'4759 will do the same but with over 200fps speed increase. |

Both my sons shoot it and they both handle it well. Thanks again muznut! |

The main thing about 4759 is you can't buy it anymore unless you are lucky, been discontinued.

If you have 4759, it works great in the break actions. I use up to 43 grains in my Apex 45-70 conversion w/Barnes 195 for 2400+ and great accuracy!
