Hodgdon told me it was made to the same specifications as the IMR4227 made in Canada, but I have found reports on the Internet where ADI claimed it was the same as H4227. The Canadian IMR4227 is supposedly similar to the powder made by DuPont in the U.S. for many years.


What a mess...

Regarding my purposes, 4227 in its current IMR formula doesn't get me anywhere near the reported performance of the H4227 that Milek and Herrett used to develop the 357 Herrett. Lil Gun is the closest powder I've found so far, but the results have not yet been great. Any recommendations, John?
