Imr 4227 ?

[Randy1911]

What kind of powder is IMR 4227? I mean is it a stick, flake or ball? My manual gives powder descriptions, but for some reason it doesn't say what type IMR 4227 is. How well does it jmeter? Thanks.

IMR4227 is a short cut extruded powder that meters quite well in most measures. Rumor has it that it is being produced by ADI in Australia and now features low temperature sensitivity like some of the other H powders.

Small stick powder that measures well.

Thanks Guys. I was thinking of trying it in my 44 Mag.

It shot well for me in a Winchester 94 in .44 Mag. It won't give the very best velocities, but it did shoot very well. I settled on AA #9 for .44 Mag and used it for years. I have recently tried N-110 and it is excellent.

It is also a good powder for the .30 Carbine and heavy bullet .357 Magnum loads.

Also widely used with .458 Win Mag.

I use it for cast bullet loads in my Contender 7TCU. Easily sub-MOA.

I use it for .357 in my carbines and in my long pipe .44mag and .460S&W.

Ij'll try in my 357 also. I'll let you know how it works out.
