Let me be the odd ball here. I usually am, so it's nothing new to me. I bought mine several years ago and stuck right to the book. I use IMR 4227. Why? It's difficult to ignite, but it has never been a problem to me. But it is what I had on hand. Every year I have threatened to switch to another powder, but when it comes right down to it, I stick with the 4227. It works for me.


When I bought my gun, 4227 was one of the loads listed in the manual. I use 45grs of it under a 250gr XTP and get 2100fps with groups under 2" at 200yds.
