Anyone know why Winchester discontinued WAP powder?

I have about 1/2 can left and it worked great in many loads. I was wondering if it just didn't sell or was there a problem with it? Also did they replace it with Autocomp?

I've read that Ramshot bought the distribution rights to WAP and is now selling it as Ramshot Silhouette. I've never used either powder, but it should be easy to confirm with Ramshot.

Silhouette is the exact same powder as WAP.

I think they've added a little flash suppressant...good stuff, an excellent powder.
