Yes, I am shooting 44g of AA 5744, which is about 1/2 the load fo 100g of 777, so about 40% of the cost. Also smokeless powder is cheaper for some reason than 777, which is about $27/lb where I live.

Good shooting Chap,looks like you are ready for your hunt.
Think you should check the amount of 5744 powder you listedbefore some one puts a 100 gr charge in one.May get more than a hard kick.
Wish you luck on your hunt and you get a monster.
