Two comments:
1- 5744 is OK for low speed plinking loads in my 1886 riles (45-70 and 90). 4198 is good in my 45-70 DR giving an accurate 1590 fps load at 13,900 psi low pressure. A 300 grain .458 bullet at 1600 fps is plenty good for deer and hogs at 45-70 hunting ranges.
Serious DG loads are another matter entirely.

2. I have been shooting for several decades and never have "ringed" a rifle chamber or a revolver chamber. Therefore can not offer counsel on the subject.
Good luck and keep your powder dry.
