Like I have said before, it seems the powder industry is moving towards "newer" powders and retiring the older ones. This is probably a good thing but not for people like me who are adverse to change. Add to that the fact of all the time and components dedicated to working up loads with those powders, well you see what I mean.
When you see old and trusted powders like SR-7625, SR-4756, SR-4759 and even PB being discontinued and newer powders like Lil'Gun, AutoComp, BE-86, CFE-Pistol, Clay Dot and Power Pro 300-MP coming to market we can only guess that's the way the manufacturers are heading.
One note, Alliant seems to have a huge catalog of powders, more than any other company. I don't understand how all the shotgun powders they have can't be an overlap and in excess. They now list 14 shotgun powders and an additional 5 handgun powders. That is a whole bunch of stuff IMO. (not to mention the 14 rifle powders in their catalog too)
