I tried 5356 .045 and the gun has a hard time with it I put in .035 5356 and had to put the setting up to 22.6V wire speed and amps 245 to get this weld but still black had to brush it.

When using .035 4043 it will spray at the same settings but not be black, both using 100% Argon.

When using .045 5356 same settings as yours it would work for about .25 of a inches and then slowed down then speed up making the weld not smooth.
