I tried it years ago.  I got better results with 4227.  I do not recall the exact charge, but it is very close to 4227 charge.

Those large kernels of 4759 don't meter the best.
and I see most Schuetzen shooters metering at 
the shooting bench..
Perhaps that may have something to do with 4759
not doing the best as compared to 4227 that meters  almost 'like water" or ball powder.
I may look at a similar burning rate powder Lil Gun
which meters well. 
Has anyone tried Lil Gun?

I have tried Lil Gun Beltfed the main concern when trying to find a powder that works for you is in finding one that will consistently shoot good day in day out and all year long. Lil Gun is one of those that would not do it for me and in all honesty neither was 4227. I will give you but one example that would typically fool one into believing they have found that powder. While testing 4227 I shot three very very nice looking 250's but in between those 250's there were several also shot that were in no means even close to being as good. I am talking about going out on different days and typically a week apart and shooting 5 to 6 10 shot 200yd. targets at each outing. This was also while going through 4 pounds of powder and typical of how I go about testing various powders. When all was said and done with testing this powder there just wasn't any of the prior mentioned consistency that I was looking for. This in no way means it would not work for you only that it would not do so for me. This just shows how one can easily get fooled if not doing enough testing I could have shot two of those 250's closer together and very easily thought Yahoo Eureka I had stopped there. And then went onto loosing quite a few matches not knowing if it was just me or possibly something wrong with the rifle when it was actually the lack of consistency in the powder itself all along. And it would remain an unkown simply from the lack of not doing enough long term testing at which time it would have became very obvious it just wasn't the right choice of powder to be using.

Lil' Gun?     4227?

Didn't the OP ask about experience using SR4759 in the .32-40, loaded fixed, using the Lyman #319247 165 grain flat point...  ?

Irish66 it sounds like you are breech seating how did you go about weighing your powder at the bench. I have a close friend who would weigh it and then place into glass vials to bring for a match. As Frank mentioned as being a good choice I used a Belding and Mull powder measure at the bench and it worked out well for me. One of our other compeitiors used a Lyman 55 powder measure and it seemed to work well for him as well. So I am just curious about how you go about measuring yours and how it's worked out for you being one of the more challenging powders to measure accuratly. Also if memory serves me right I was using 15.2 grains in a 15 twist, Rem. 91/2 primers and a 216 grain 6 diameter ogive Spitzer at the time. The only real issue I had was the time constraints in CBA and having to measure and then use a funnel to place the powder into the case. It just up the clock abit to much and left very little time to wait on a condition using the case.

My intent was to point out there are much more accurate powders.  Maybe sell the 4759 to another shooter and get a more accurate powder if accuracy is a top priority.  If not, it should work just fine.

Not trying to change the subject...Where did you find that adjustable powder tube for your measure?? I use a Belding bench mounted ,but only have the original tubes with it... Thanks... Randy A.
