About this powder
Accurate 5744 is a uniquely low-density extruded powder suited to reduced loads in large rifle cases and cast-bullet applications. Its high bulk volume means even small charges fill a significant portion of large cases like .45-70 and .30-06, preventing the inconsistent ignition that can occur with standard powders at reduced charges. A practical option for subsonic or cast-bullet loads where charge weight needs to be kept low.
