4227 powder for 12 gauge

Does anyone have any load data for IMR 4227 in 12 gauge or 410?

There is 410 data here http://www.castpics.net/LoadData/Fre...MR/IMR2004.pdf Page 53-55 The Winchester hulls are different now i think??

4227 is way, way too slow for 12 gauge shot shell use. .410 is completely different though.

Hodgdon shows no data for either 12 or 410 using 4227

IMR 4227

This is "the" magnum pistol powder in the IMR lineup. If it says magnum, IMR 4227 is the choice for true magnum velocities and performance. In rifle, this powder delivers excellent velocity and accuracy in such cartridges as the 22 Hornet and 221 Fireball.

I've used 4227 for .30 Carbine and .44-40, but didn't know it had applications as a shotgun powder. I, too, would think "way too slow"?

Thanks 243win, I didn't have much hope for it as a 12 gauge. I thought I saw somewhere it could be used for 410 though the link is great
