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'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 .
