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.
