MrVvrroomm Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Looking for opinions on best Hodgdon or Winchester powder for 38 super, Montana Gold 124 jhp, full-size 2011, no poppel holes. Presently using IMR SR-4756. This works very well in both of my open guns. Hodgdon is discontinuing this powder in 2014. I have a certificate for a free 8lbs of any Hodgdon powder. I reload 9, 40, 45. I'm sitting real well with Titegroup and Win231. Was told Hodgdon is discontinuing their whole line of IMR SR powders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwmiket Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Wow......hadn't heard that SR 4756 was being discontinued........that sucks! Where'd you find out? I use Vihta N350 when I'm out of SR 4756, FYI, but that isn't a Hodgdon powder obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dirty whiteboy Posted December 15, 2013 Share Posted December 15, 2013 Email I recieved when asking about 4756 being discontinued: Chris Hodgdon3:41 PM (2 hours ago) to me Scott Yes this powder along with 4759, PB and 7625 will be discontinued by the end of 2014. I can understand that you are disappointed but there are many reasons why we are discontinuing including outdated technology, high manufacturing costs and low sales. Appreciate your interest and business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbcaster45 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 (edited) For me it's WSF! Sorry to hear Hodgdon is phasing SR-4756 out, it's my favorite powder in .38 Super for SD loads. Before I started using SR-4756 I used 6.6 grs. of WSF with this combo. Bullet: Hornady 125 gr. HAP (35572B) Powder: IMR SR-4756 7.8 grs. Primer: Winchester Small Rifle Case: PMC LOAL: 1.250 Average Velocity: 1258.97 fps ES: 41.85 SD: 13.85 Recoil Spring: 13 lbs (With Buffer) Edited December 16, 2013 by pbcaster45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pme166 Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Well that stinks. I will have to load up on 4756 and PB this year. Glad I just bought 8 lbs of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
