I was looking at some 10ga loads and seem only interested in some with IM4-4756. Now, l can't seem to find any. Seems it was discontinued several years ago. So now l am looking for some. My dealer can't find some.

Your going to have a tough time. Annie shooters loved it. They paid me considerably more to get my stash than going price for most available powders.
Your best chance is finding a can on a backwoods gun shop or estate sale.

It’s been gone for a good amount of time now. It’s my favorite Annie load powder and I loaded the last of it I had the other day. I guess it’s on to 800x until my supply of that runs out.

4756 is a great powder for heavy shotshell loads and some pistol loads. I am down to my last 8 lbs.

The two Powders a lot of shotgunners miss is PB and IMR7625.
Im sure by now there are "new" powders that have the same characteristics.. Us old farts just dont like change.

It is true that I don't like change. But the fact that 4756, 7625 and PB were discontinued was flat out ridiculous.
No I don't believe the new powders that could be considered replacements have the wide spread of reliable usage that these three did.

800-X is the worst metering powder I have ever seen. If you don't weigh every powder charge you will not know what weight you are loading.

I've got a little 4756 I was going to load some 28 gauge with.
Also was going to load 28 gauge with 800X= Derby is that a mistake to use 800X in 28s?

I use it in 600Jrs and it isn't to crazy. But it is alittle trouble some.
But now that 4756,7625 and HS7/571 are no longer produced I feel it's one of the last remaining with the versatility and patterning performance that the others displayed.
It's worth the effort to load.

I guess the big reason is that I am wanting that powder is that it seems to be the only 1 that they list as a solution to the load and other components that I have on hand. And building Non-Tox loads for that cannon is rather quite powder specific the way it is already. Not like the good old days when you could load Blue Dot, HS-6 or HS-7 and be good to go.

For those of us that like 800X, it was discontinued last year.

They said it was to be discontinued back in 2018. Still alot of one pounders on shelves around my stomping grounds. Several internet sites still list it.
Nevertheless, there will most likely be some available at my Estate sale as I don't see running out in my remaining years.lol

Hodgdon's found a new method of making gunpowder that reduced the amount of time and man hours significantly but numerous powders could not be made using that methodology so they were discontinued. PB, 4756 and others fell into that category. I do have something on the order of 11 pounds of SR4756 (a near-completely filled eight-pound jug) I might sell.
