I have shot all three and prefer the V110 next would be the 4759 and last would be the 5744.

I'm almost in the same boat . No vv110 or 5744 around here so I shoot 4759. 1" groups at 100 yds if I do my part with 250 SST over 43 grains and win primer. In past 2 season, 5 deer shot at, 5 deer hit the ground with the one going 20 yds and the rest dropped at the shot. It works for me .

4759-- it is better for your bullet weight, and you can still get it in 1/2 pound cans. 40 grains is all you might ever need.

40 is what you might ever need, but 44 grains shoots the tightest groups in my ML-I...........

250 gr. SST, MMP Short Sabot. Velocity @ 20 Yds averages 2148 fps.
