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 .

They claimed they didn't sell enough of them to make them profitable any longer .

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?
