I am seeking advise on using 5744 for some light loads. I understand that Trail Boss or similar will also work.

The rifle is a Ruger No.1 so I am not worried about regulation.
We have a range event coming up and some of the people have an itch to shoot the 450-400.

Let me know what you have.
 
I've used 5744 with 210 grain pistol bullets and 300 grain bullets meant for the .405 in 2 doubles I had and a Ruger number 1. It worked great. Trailboss worked for the Ruger, but velocity was too slow to regulate in the doubles.

I just found after a deeper search this morning a 5744 recipe of 46 grains for a 400 grain bullet
Also a 50 grains for a 300 grain bullet.
Still seeking Trail Boss or Tin Star data.
 
Hi Bandera, I don't remember how many grains, but fill up the case with Trailboss to the bottom of the bullet when seated or just below. You cannot compress Trailboss any at all. The velocity out of my No1 was about 1600 fps. Fun to shoot.

Phillip I was reviewing some of the auctions online and saw your Nubian Ibex hunt coming up this weekend. It also showed you have Addax and Axis deer. Is there a website I can go to and see the lodge, cost of animals and what is available? Thanks Mark

Appreciate your Limcroma/Franco comments. Will be seeing him in April....again. great person as well as his family (he has a new born son). I will always recommend him who makes a hunt special and exciting. Marc

I really like that knife you're selling. It looks so similar to my original 1306 that has been around a long time. I can't spend that much but if you get to a point where you'd entertain offers let me know. Thx, James
