I just called a fellow in response to a post on Alaskaslist regarding some new AAC 5744 he has for sale. He has 14 1# unopened containers that he wants $200.00 for (less that $15 per #). He didn't seem to want to parcel it out. The Lyman cast bullet #4 lists 5744 repeatably for virtually every caliber. I tried to do a search for user satisfaction and the results were mixed. Seems like you want to keep the pressure up to get it to burn clean. Some reporting it rendering the gun inoperable without cleaning after a few rounds if used down pressure. The burning rate seems to be in the 4227 range. Mike Venturino talks quite positive of the stuff.
It sounds like a great deal, just not sure I need this much of something I might not like. Anyone use this much? Like, no-like. I want to use it with cast in my 45-70 guide gun, 7x57, 30-06, .338 WM, .375 HH. I don't need heavier loads in the guide gun to make it burn clean as it beats me up pretty good as it is. Maybe 40 or 50 years ago.
