    I've posted this before, but figured I ought to have the entire SR-4759 series down for the record.

    I got lucky a few years ago and picked up a 4# keg.
    I have also used AA5744 and
    Reloder 7!
    Can our government survive the next 4 years?

    If you have it. It's discontinued and scarce as hens teeth.

    A 5 pounder I bought when IMR brought it back after it had been discontinued back before the turn of the century; cost me $41.95 for 5#.

    I have three of the 6 pound jugs that Hi-Tech sold when the military scrapped the .30 frangible ammo. Interesting note. A non-canister lot of 4759 was used in the first few rounds of 7.62 X 51Nato blanks. Then they switched to the fast burning flake./beagle

    The stuff is bulky and needs some big containers for 8 pounds!!

    I have some that fits the smaller weight charges using the usual pound cans. May be why the sold it in the smaller ounce size.
