Great range day with Cimarron Centennial 45-75 Win.

[U.S.M.R.]

Sadly the shooting sports are declining. People don't seem to want to reload anymore. Manufactures and dealers only carry what they have a ready sale for. If you see what you need to reload these old cartridges bite the bullet and buy it.

I just did a search for 5744 and found none in stock anywhere, except on fake scam sites, they always have everything in stock for half what anyone else has it for!

Looking at some alternatives, some I already have like 4227, 4198 and R7.

AA1680 is around and it sounds close, and I know my LGS has it, saw some the other day.

I was fortunate enough to stock up a couple years ago on 5744 and 4198 so I'm good on powder foe many years, and have ample primers also. Just need to find a Uberti 40-60 to round out my 76 collection.

I picked up a pound of AA1680 today which is right next to 5744 on burn rate charts, if anything maybe a tad slower which is OK.

4198 is also good and have some. Made a big boo boo last year by grabbing a can of that instead of IMR4350 that I intended for full charges in a .30-06 bolt action.  Not a good day at the range that day!

I was flummoxed at first till I went back and looked at the labels, they are nearly the same color! I was somewhat pressed for time one day, and saw the bottle, assumed mostly by color ID it was 4350, alas it was 4198. We have all heard the term Kaboom!
Thats exactly what happened. No injury but toasted a nice factory made 98 Mauser sporter. A guy with pressure info on his computer estimates the pressure at nearly 100000 PSI. Very fortunate to still have my face, well at least I think so...opinions vary on all things of course!
