need some advise please

I have access to IMR 4756 and 4759 powders, would these be powders that would work for general target shooting over 200gr swc or lead round nose ,45 acp ?

There is some load data to be found online for the 4756, but I have no experience using it in that caliber. Try a Google search for "IMR 4756 .45 ACP". I would say no to the 4759.

NO.

They are being removed from the catalog next year.

4756 is one of my personal favorites.

They are both excellent powders but if you take the time to get familiar and work up loads with them it will be time wasted.

If you already have some use it and have fun with it. When it's gone find a new powder and start over. That's all part of the fun.

Which is why I bought 8lbs of 4759 - and it is quite close to 2400 on the burn charts. If you won't use 2400 in the 45ACP - I won't - then 4759 is too slow too.
