AA 5744 in the 44-40
« on: December 16, 2016, 10:18:31 AM »
What would be a good full strength charge (grns) of Accurate Arms 5744 for a '73 Win in 44-40 ? What is 'your' favorite load for accuracy too....with this powder ?

Thank you

I used data from an older Accurate handbook, it shot alright, but have yet to find anything smokeless that shoots as well as a slightly compressed load of Olde Eynsford 2f.

You will find that a good crimp is necessary to get complete powder burn.
