An acquaintance who does a lot of big bore shooting recently gave me some of the 5744 powder to load a few.He extolled the virtues of this powder.I have loaded some 405 gr. with it but haven't had a chance to try it.Your report is encouraging.Thanks.

Sorry about taking so long to answer.
The Smith sight is a peep hole. Also a Buckhorn sight that is good at 100
yards. A very good sight IMHO.

I am planning in trying that very bullet next. Just trying to get hings squared away with me and the rifle for now. I think if I can drive it hard enough it will shoot.  Recoil is another problem. We shall see.
Montanan: Thanks for posting the picture. I am impressed. Haven't got to the crossed sticks yet. Am still shooting off the bench.
