I don't know if it was merely a name change or not. I have been using it for light 7/8 oz. 12 ga loads. It has been working well for me - clean, low recoil, relatively low pressure, and the charge rate was low making a pound go further. Now, it seems, they have quit making it. At least it is no longer listed on the Win. website. Figures, once I find something I like, it gets scrapped. Oh well, there are alternatives. I just hate changing things all the time.

That's kinda the way I felt when they did away with 452AA and 473AA . When I quit loading shotshells 20 or so years ago I had gotten to where I was comfortable with WSL in place of 452AA and WSF in the place of 473AA . Now that I've gotten back to loading all gauges they've done away with WSL and my old 28 gauge stand by WIN 540 . Well atleast they still make 296 !

Craig,
Don't give up on the 540, It's know as HS-6 now.
Getting pretty available around here.
