Accurate 5744 ?

Guy Miner · Dec 19, 2023

Has Accurate 5744 been discontinued?

I see that it's listed as "out of stock" everywhere I've thought to look, including Accurate's page on Hodgdon's website. Hope it's going to be available again someday!

My SW had some on the shelf this fall but $60/lb. Sold in a hurry though.

Are you using it for 45/70?

This might be an another alternative to 5744. Doesn’t look to be available either.

I saw some in my LGS just last week but that is the first time in a long while. I didn't price it but may have to check my supply and go back. I used it mostly for my C Sharps 45-70 and I don't shoot that one much anymore.
