Re: IMR SR4756 .45Colt? .45ACP? .38Spl?

SR-4756 is great for standard revolver loads. Look at the can again though, you will find it is 8 oz, not a pound. 4756 is quite bulky. Leaves very little residue too.

4756, 4759 and PB are all on the list to be discontinued.

Winchester (Olin) was still head-stamping brass WRA into the 1960s and possibly early 1970s. I have .44-40, 34-70, .38 sPL, .32 S&WL and others which were purchased new by me during that period. Both WW and WRA were available at the same time.

Two things likely. Either you are not holding the lever closed completely, which is the reason for the two-piece firing pin, so the gun will not fire unless completely locked. The other is you have a broken firing pin caused, generally, by dry-firing the gun without a snap cap.
