Description
Load development starts with matching the powder to the cartridge and intended performance range. Accurate 5744 is an extremely fast-burning, double-base, extruded smokeless propellant designed for use across a wide range of rifle calibers and magnum handguns.
Accurate characterizes 5744 by its excellent ignition and consistency over a very wide performance range. Its low bulk density and ignition characteristics are identified as key attributes for reduced loads in many rifle calibers.
For large-capacity black-powder cartridge applications, Accurate 5744 is specifically listed for cartridges from .45-70 through .45-120 and from .50-90 through .50-120. This makes its stated application range relevant to reloaders working with these cartridge families.
Accurate 5744 is made in Canada. As with any smokeless propellant, cartridge-specific published load data should guide component selection and load development; the product information does not provide charge weights or cartridge-specific load recipes.

5744 Powder for .45 Colt
I recently searched for smokeless powders that would fill a .45 Colt case more fully and saw 5744 as a possibility Although it is considered more of a “Magnum” powder (think 44 Magnum, 454 Casull), it did an admirable job in the cavernous .45 Colt case. When used with a 280-300 grain bullet, it was ideal for my Winchester ‘94 lever action rifle for Cowboy Action Shooting (SASS). Always nice to have an alternate powder with the current and various runs on reloading supplies that make for sparse shelves at reloading supplies!

Good for reduced loads
I use this with 223 and can load to 218 Bee velocities but with good pressure. In this regard it works better than H4895 and more like SR4759 which fools ceased making.
