Isn't 4759 being/is discontinued.

I found 4227 best in 32-40 and 4759 best in 38-55, YMMV 

Guys,  I have annointed 4227 as my favorite powder in several cases. Never, never run out of that one, I always say. Versatile, easy measuring and advice aplenty for this powder.
But, as so often happens sometimes other choices are made by the bullets themselves. And, 4759 is often their choice. I use it in a number of bigger bores, and have found it very good in things like my 40-82 for instance. I also use it in my .32-40 with good results. I have never gone above 13.2 gr. until I tried the "Green Frog" load yesterday. In my rifle, and his it seems, the bigger charge was very good indeed. 
Now, to find it's eventual replacement for the inevitable time it is gone for good..................................... 
Reb, as a matter of fact, I too, would have told you the 14/4227 load for your rifle, it will probably do a much better job with some refinement of your bullet, lube, or loading. It will about always shoot real well for me. Sorta fits as a "standard" load for that round with many bullets. Keep piddling with it.
And, thanks guys for the comments, you can always get some sound advice on this board.

I note that Green Frog doesn't post very often these days, I sincerely hope all is well with him.

As they say, "Speak of the Devil..." 

Thanks for the kind words, calledflyer, but I can only take a little credit for calling folks' attention to that 4759 load.  Somewhere in the old Roberts & Waters book there was reference to using that powder in about that weight range, and Charlie Dell told me when I was starting out that 4759 was not as likely to ring barrels as some of the others, so that's what I went with.  It seemed that an old original barreled high wall I had (and still have) preferred that charge regardless of the bullet from 165 to 200 grains.  Since I'm not shooting as much 32-40 offhand as I used to, I'm hoping that my current stash of 4759 will outlast my shooting career... thanks go to Dale53 for supplementing said stash. 

As for questions asked about alternate loads or calibers, I have had very good results fixed with 4227 and a 200 grain bullet (the mould for which I foolishly let get away) but my 38-55 experience is so minuscule as to not be worthy of mention.
