I have had very good results using it in the 500 S&W. I loaded up a dozen last night to try.

CW-
The Western Powder people (Ramshot/Accurate) show loads for seven different bullets with 5744, from 200- to 325-grain bullets. The recipes are available in their on-line list of loads, and are also in their newly published reloading manual.
5744 doesn't run light bullets as fast as Enforcer/4100, and it doesn't keep up with 1680 with heavier bullets. There's no information supplied about accuracy. 5744 is a superb powder for some applications, particularly cast bullets.
It's unclear from your post whether you loaded a dozen 500 S&W or 450B cartridges. If the 450, please post your results. (It might be well if you posted them in the 450B-specific reloading forum.)
Thanks.
