JF,
Thanks for your thoughts.
What suppressor are you using? I'm using a Thundertrap on a 16" Savage barrel.
You seem to be interested in getting maximum precision and consistency. I like those attributes too, but I must admit I'm seeking ultimate sound suppression.
I would have to think that the larger charge weight of your 5744 load (~12 grains as opposed to ~8.5 grains of Unique or Red Dot) would make it slightly louder because the suppressor has more gas work. Did you find this to be the case? Also, since I'm only using a 16" barrel, I figured the fast pistol powders would be fully burned and easier to suppress than the slower 5744. What do you think? Am I barking up the wrong tree?
I'm trying to disagree with you. I'm trying to learn something and hopefully find a more effective load than the one I've been using. If your load is safer, more precise, and JUST AS QUIET as the ones I've been using, then I owe you a huge debt of gratitude for sharing your success with us.
