Switch to 1680 powder, and check your bullet fit against your throat diameter. If you're powder coating you should be able to go softer not harder which may well improve accuracy, improve expansion, and still not lead - if the bullet fits your throat. (Although I get great accuracy and velocity as well with 4227, 1680 has the edge, at least in my .357 Maximum rifle ballistic twin to the Legend.)
