Hello, Romeo 33 Delta. I don't want to shock you...But..there is no more
H4227..When Hodgdon took over IMR, they dropped this one! I too like the H

4227..when I heard about the merger, I stocked up on all the H4227 I could find. Now here is the interesting part..I had called Hodgdon to ask if they had quantities of this left for possible purchase, I explaned that it shot better in my Hornet than the IMR brand. The technician told me that they too had found their brand shot better than the IMR (of course?), but the new powder will be packaged under the IMR label....BUT it will be H4227!
Now I don't have any of the new IMR 4227, but it sure would be interesting if someone with some acccurate rifles, and possibly a chronograph could do some comparision testing between these powders!
