In case you were not aware, Hodgdon purchased the IMR & Win powders. I have learned that the following powders will be discontinued after 2014.

SR4759
pyrodex pellets
IMR 7625
IMR 4007
IMR PB
Winchester Supreme 780
Winchester AA Lite

You may want to stock up.

Can't seem to find a clarification on the 4007 in them. Going to have to do a bit of research. I am loading 2 calibers with it currently. Thanks for the heads up

SR4759 is THE powder for my smokeless muzzle loader. One more pound will last my lifetime though!

My guess is they would discontinue certain powders where they see an overlap.

I knew they are now the same company, but I would assume they are getting rid of redundant powders because there may be two very similar ones that does nearly the same thing.

Hodgdon IMR & Winchester powders have been all the same company for years.  Hodgdon bought IMR in 2003 and licensed Winchester powders in 2006.
