Hodgdon is discontinuing PB
I've been reading all over the net that Hodgdon will be discontinuing PB, 7625 and 4759 at the end of 2014. Dagnabbit :banghead: !!
I may have to buy up a lifetime supply of PB, wonder what the shelf life is? |
Talking with Mark the other day and he said the same thing. I use both PB and 7625. Well If its true I will have to find a suitable replacement.
|
I'll be on the hunt for 7625. I'm sure they will have some type of replacement powder. I wonder why these would be discontinued?
|
I'll have two 8 pounders of SR7625 and one if SR4756 in my hands soon . That should keep me going for awhile .

If you can't make a profit, you can't make the product. PB was a smokeless replacement for black powder anyway. There's little reason to keep it any longer. 4759 was a good cast bullet powder... but 5744 is just as good, maybe even better. For the big BP cartridges, there are better powders out there now... like Trail Boss. I hate to see powders go, too. But these can be replaced with good alternatives.
And... our powder companies stay in business. That's good for everyone. |
I think I know where I can get some 7625 and 4756. I will check it out and can bring it to one of the sxs shoots this year----and no hazmat shipping fee!!!

I'm not that familiar with powder properties but couldn't IMR SR7625 & SR4756 be used instead?
