For safety sake, stay away from 5744.  That has wrecked a bunch of rifles chambered for bottle-necked cartridges.


I loaded NOE 311365 at 185 grains over 19.0 grains of AA 5744 and a CCI #200 primer.  I shot these in my Krag Bench Rest rig for CBA cast bullet matches.  Shot in a half dozen matches with this load, and not a single problem.  Plus, I can practically put two shots through a single hole at 200 yards!  5744 is fine.  Use established load data, and pay attention (it IS possible to load a double charge when the load is that small).
