AA#5 is good for some applications, but for light loads you might want to consider W-231, Bullseye, or AA#2 Improved. I have never had really great results with slower powders for light loads. Theoretically, the bulkier, slow powders should fill the case and provide more uniform ballistics, but it is hard to prove in my guns.
