I used up all of my 5744 and have started using Varget with 405 grain cast and jacketed bullets in the 45-70. Varget burns cleaner to me and I like the fact that it pretty much fills the case up completely. I have only fired a few sight in groups with the 405 grain jacketed but have loaded some 405 grain cast w/GC and am anxious to see how they perform. I'm working in the Trapdoor pressure range with a H&R Buffalo Classic and and 21" Encore barrel.
Anyone else trying Varget in the 45-70?
