Default Winchester Action Powder

I know that Winchester discontinued this powder a few years back, with that said did it ever reappear under a different company and under a different name?

Correction on the name, it should have read Wincherster Action Pistol powder- aka- WAP.

I don't think it did. I was told recently that Ramshot Powder Co. had a direct cross but my research turned up nothing.
I had 5 pounds of WAP and was wondering what to do with it. I don't shoot much 9MM, don't own a 40 and only shoot 45 ACP in a Colt New Service. I started digging, interpolating, extrapolating and cautiously experimenting and now have a couple of very good loads for 38 Special, at least I can burn up the WAP.

Yes. Ramshot's Silhouette powder is a direct replacement for WAP. It has a low flash additive and is my go-to powder for 9mm.

Even more challenging is to find some more Winchester AA Plus to finish a string of reloads....anyone have any of this discontinued powder?
