If you're saying that 748 is discontinued, where did you hear that?

I know it's still available because I just picked up a can at Cabelas over the weekend.

BTW, the BR did NOT stand for BenchRest as some believe. It stood for Ball, Rifle using Winchester's trademarked Ball name for double-base spherical powder. They also used "P" for pistol powders and "AA" for shotgun powders.

They dropped the letter suffixes from all their powders decades ago.
