40-50 sharps bottle neck
Yesterday at 7:43pm

I’ve had good success using 4198 but I’ve got other powders I’d like to try. 
Any recommendations for 5744, 4227 and 4759?
Using ideal 403169, 260 gr bullet.
Thanks

I also use 4198 with a 300 gr RCBS for good results.

I have always shot black on my 40-50 sbn.  However, the guy I sold it to wanted to use smokeless in it.  After much research on my part I came to the conclusion that 4198 is the best powder for the cartridge.  There is some info on the CBA site.

Cheers,
Steve
