They continue to produce it, The Hercules powder R7 was produced by them at the start until the company sold in 90's or 2000? this I am not clear on.
Other than now Reloader 7 is produced by Alliant .

Yes I have done a bit of reading, looks like Alliant kept making it after Hercules disappeared.

I reload my .17 fireball with 15gr #7 under a 25gr hornardy hollow point, don't think I will by anymore, when I run out, as benchmark just as good, and easy to find.

Yep I tried Benchmark, #7, H335, several different bullets.
Once I got good Brass, I went from 1" plus, groups at 50M, to well photo's to tell the story,
This old Sako L46, is the most accurate rifle I own, right now, consistant 5 shot, less that 1" groups with different bullets and powders @100m, Most likely sticking to benchmark once reloader #7 is gone, fills the case better,

Good data southernman.
