[QUOTE="seafire, post: 2192453, member: 118654"] I don't know if any of you gentlemen have heard it, but I've seen multiple source quote 5744, was originally developed as a hand grenade powder. I've only tried it a couple of times... I thought it had a loud retort.. I haven't used it much tho, due to the price being quite a bit higher than some of the other powders I have used for reduced recoil loads, which are still FULL Pressure loads. The extra expense isn't that big of a deal unless you shoot high volume of them as I usually do.. I was out shooting ground squirrels the other day, shot 120 rounds in 3 hours, not a high count day, but for early in the season, I shot 120 rounds and was hitting about a 100 for the day.. from 10 to about 200 yds... 2.5 x 10 Scope, on a high round count 223, ADL, sporter 24 inch barrel.... load was 14 grains of Blue Dot, 40 grain V Max.. right at 3300 fps MV.. consider 40 to 45 mph winds all day, the rifle and the round did well. "shooting bench" was the hood of a 1988 4 Runner [/QUOTE]
