Magnum powder

[fatcpa]

As we all know, powder is in short supply. I'm running low on powder for 44 magnum loads. I picked up a pound of IMR 4227 a my Murph's yesterday. No H110, W296 or 2400 in sight. Do any of you load with 4227? Any hints, do's or don'ts? Tricks of the trade from sage old reloaders? Thanks.

If its not a recognized load in the manuals, call the manufacturers toll free number and ask the customer service rep.
They have all of the data right at their fingertips to make a safe reload.

I've loaded a lot of 4227 and 2400 both in 44 mag. Not a lot if difference to me in either one. Go to the Hodgdon website for current load data.
