Well over a year ago while still in Peru and before the #19 fun time arrived we bought a quantity of Buffalo Powder having read several articles it is very similar to 5744. Possible even the same under a different label. Price was well below the 5744 powder we have used in numerous caliber .50 Rifles and large bore revolvers.
So today in a 50-70 rifle we tried some loads side by side and those two powders are near twins if not equals.
But both have that habit of leaving unburnt powder in the barrel / chamber area with lower pressure loads..So the thought occurred to me as I was as I was blowing into the chamber : Why not try some mag primers ?
So the question is... Anyone tried mag primers with 5744 in low pressure loads in 50-70 or similar calibers and saw improvement ?
Thank you !!!!
