Accurate's own load data shows 30.2 gr start and 33.5 gr max for a 152 gr lead RN and 5744 powder. With the 180 gr lead RN it's 28.8 start and 32.0 max. Velocities are between 2150 and 2450 fps. If you substitute jacketed bullets, stay near the starting charges.

These loads do NOT require fillers of any kind, as 5744 is NOT position sensitive.
