I've used a veritable pile or SR4759 and XMP5744 in cast bullet rifle loads . Also used SR4756 and SR7625 in cast bullet rifle loads and they all worked equally well .

5744 is alot more position friendly in a cartridge case then Sr4759 however . Although I do have a small supply of them both I use them very little anylonger . My cast bullet rifle shooting is pretty much handled now with H322 , IMR8208 , RL-7 and XMR2015 .

All those 8# jugs of PB and 7625 that I bought years back and have on the shelves... what AM I going to do with them????? I think I'm set for a while. I think I bought over 50# total in my last order....

And what is your Address????:)

That will take care of a lot of icicles Richard.:eek:

thats enough powder to get them icesicals outa the outhouse for sure...charlie

Last night a shooting buddy of mine bought one 5 lb. and one 8 lb. container of PB that we're going to split. Total cost including tax was $293.29 or $22.56/lb. Your purchase of over 50 lbs. has a street value today of somewhere north of $1128 . . . maybe that'll help you decide what to do with it. :eek:

I bought my supply long before all the recent madness started so have far less into it than it costs now. I'll just keep on using it...and smiling....

All I use in 12ga is PB. I was getting it through the Skeet Club in Georgia for $125 /12lb keg. I stocked up and still have plenty for my needs.

I use a lot of IMR "PB" for light through heavy 12 gauge loads, and up to moderate level short 10 gauge. I've never seen it in anything but 14 oz bottles, 4 and 8 pound jugs. A couple of gents have reported 5 and 12 pounders ???

For those looking for PB and not being able to find it, you might consider IMR SR-7625 which according to reports is also being discontinued. It is perhaps more useful than PB (light 12 thru heavier 10 gauge). And imo, reports about it being funky in cold weather are goofy and carried forward by those who have read that somewhere but never tried it themselves. I've tested 7625 extensively in 12 and 10 gauge by leaving loaded shells outside overnight in sub-zero degree temps, carrying them on an unheated golf/shooting cart, and shooting up to 100 rounds on a sporting course with the gun cooing down between stations. My buddies and I shoot on Sundays no matter what the weather, and I've done that many times with 7625 loaded shells with proper Remington, Federal and Claybuster wads and never had a blooper or light sounding report. Same with heavy 12 gauge both 2-3/4 and 3-inch, and short 10's used for hunting in the winter. For whatever this is worth .....

Chromox, 12 lb. containers of PB, as well as other powders available in 12 lb. containers, were discontinued I believe about a decade ago. PB in the 5 lb. size has been a standard offering (at least in my neck of the woods). Have you bought a 4 lb. size of PB in a from-the-factory original container?
