[QUOTE="arch408, post: 1868928, member: 59036"] AA 5744 is a good powder for reduced loads. Shooters World Buffalo Powder is just as good and a lot cheaper. I use both in my 45-70. They are fairly fast burning powders so they perform well for reduced loads. Slow burning powders may be inconsistent at reduced preasures and extremely slow burning powders can be dangerous because they can detonate. I have an friend who destroyed a rifle and lost his hand when he fired a .300 RUM with a reduced load of IMR 7828. Also, IMO, most hunting bullets don't work well at reduced loads. Sierra used to make a hunting bullet designed for pistols. It might work if you can find them. Any other light bullet will work for practice, plinking, target, or varmint shooting. Good luck.
