Asan aside, H4227 seems to be one powder in that general category that seems pretty available right now.

In all that time I’ve ONLY had 1 (one) can (metal) to degrade and yield the Red dust.
To the best of my ‘memory’ it was IMR 4831 in their yellow/white can.

Just poured out 1/3 # of IMR 4831 (metal can) yesterday due to the same affliction (More of an orange dust). Second can IIRC - both metal.

I've got some Reminton 243 that I bought as a kid in the 80s. Before I loaded my own.
Gonna let the daughter shoot some one day. Had a dud? Then another. Looked careful like, There was corrosion around the primer and bullet on several. New box, never touched before.
Pissed me off. They were $8 back when I got paid 2 farming dollars per hour.

Bullets may have corroded to the case neck take your seating die and ever so slightly push them about a thousands deeper to break free of the corrosion and shoot them and see if this helps.

I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

Groups were crap more like a pattern than a group. One thing I left out was that I did carry them around in my truck and they were subject to some rough two-track type roads. What is this chronograph of which you speak? Might be you just need to seat the bullet a little deeper. Hornet brass is fragile and bullets after time will sort of bond to brass creating accuracy issues.

This was some H-4831 from 2019 I had purchased in the 1960's.
