Is this powder true to its accurate 5744 burn rate? Faster or slower in your experience?
How long cut are the powder sticks? Metering issues?

Thanks!
 
D5744 Rifle Powder

D5744 - fast burning, double-base, extruded powder.

Use Accurate 5744 data, minus 10% and work up the load.

Found out it’s just a tad faster. Normal that it vary a bit in regards of AA5744 since it’s bulk powder not canister grade.
But variation is small ..nothing to worry about - anyway in the keg I got.
 
I have used the D4198 interchangeably with the IMR data. I have done the same with the 4064 as well. I have found the D powders to be consistent…. As they are IMR anyway. I have a 5 pounder of 8208 but have not loaded it yet.
 
I found the D800 to be on the hot side. Had flattering primers on some mid power 44mag so some caution is warranted.
Everything else has been pretty close though I seldom load too far up the hot end of the chart.
 
I've been using D5744 with .308, no pressure signs at max per QuickLoad. Was using 130gr, going to check velocities with a bunch of projectiles this weekend.

Nice. How does it meter? Is it thick cut stuff?
Thanks
