Re: Dacron Filler in a 450 BPE

Another good powder, that is similar to Accurate's 5744, is IMR SR4759. It is an excellent powder for reduced loads, I use it in my .338 for a fur load, and works well for me in the .450 3 1/4" BPE. Haven't tried it in the 45/70 yet, but plan to seein as how I had to order the powder, local shop's supplier doesn't carry it, and bought enough to make paying the HAZMAT fee worth it.
Yes, the old helmet testing powder.
I've had good results in .45-70 with "NO FILLER" loads using 2400 and Unique, the latter, along with cast bullets, being a great way to keep the gun going with dirt cheap ammo.
Not sure how Unique would fair with the large bottleneck rounds, but it seems it should work well in the straight case Brit BP loads.
Anybody tried it?
