You two should contact Winchester as I said it will all on computer who they supplied and you should get a lead on some.

I will contact the dealer I got mine from monday and see if he has any left

The dealer got in 4 containers they all came to me, when I ordered it he had never heard of it but rang the rep who was calling in two days time so brought down the four.

Dave said no one has asked for it before or since which surprised me as there was a lot of talk on aussie forums, maybe there lies the problem it was only talk if blokes don't chase dealers to get it then Winchester can only say " no demand" so bin it.

Anyone wants do as I said chase Winchester my dealer said the same there maybe some sitting in stock still

Johnno, i spoke to a good mate that owns three gun shops. He said they are dumping all their line of powders not just Hodgdon. So 748, 760 etc is no more as well. Ammo also. There is more to this it appears.
