Ok guys im finally getting powder. Im getting imr sr4756 tomorrow. Its the only thing i can get in town and its an 8lb jug. Im just wanting your opinion on it from experiences. Im loading 9mm. Thanks.
They've discontinued SR 4756 (or they're about to do so), and it has some real fans. Me, included. If you've ever messed with the old Speer #8 "Fire and Brimstone" manual, you'll know what I mean. We had quite the discussion over on the big blue S&W Forum about THE LOAD, the Speer #8's lowest-level .38 Special loading with 4756 and 158-gr LSWCS. Considerably over present-day SAAMI specs, but really something out of a .357-spec'd gun (it's my Bear Canyon carry load in my 3" SP-101, delivering 1215 fps with minimal spreads and pinpoint accuracy - and easy ejection of the short .38 cases).
Do you have a source for this info?
Hi Shred,
Forwarded email to acquaintance from Chris Hodgdon (could have been faked, but why on earth would anyone bother?) - PB, 7625 and 4759 were also mentioned as being on the chopping block.
