4227 uses?

[doulos]

Ive used it my 45-70 with 300 grain bullets for a light kicking load.

What boolet weight and how much 4227 ? Just curious and do have fat fingers and lousey eyesight ! Lol

Lucky guy, sure wish someone would have gifted ME a jug of 4227!

I use it in 25-20 and a pound goes a long way at a charge weight of about 9 grs.

I've been using it lately for a sort of heavy midrange load in my Rossi 92 .454 Casull using RCBS 45-270-SAA with very good results so far. I'm new to the .454, so not much experience with it yet.

Years ago I picked up an 8 lb can of the old IMR stuff that was on clearance at a local Sportsmans Warehouse. I never used it much in .357 or .44 mag, but I've been really happy with it in the .454 carbine, but I'll admit with this load I'm not chasing after top velocity.

In the .30-06, 21.5 grains of 4227 will give you about 1600 fps under a 180 - 190 grain cast bullet and a 24" barrel.

In the .32 S&W Long Larry Gibson ran some pressure tests for me and got some erratic hiccups during the rise to peak pressure unless the loads were running full snort for .32 H&R mag. pressure levels, so I don't recommend trying less than full-charge loads. Absolutely fine in full charge .32 H&R Mag., .32-20, .30 Carbine and in " mid-range" .30-30 loads which approximate full-charge .32-40, about 1600 fps for 150-170- grain bullet in .30-30 case.

Grabbed the powder today. Gave him $100 and left him a full can of it in case he needed some later. The can I filled for him was an old one from his store in the 90's. Wish I could find IMR powder for $10 a pound these days. Well, I guess I did, sort of.

I would take it and buy a gun to shoot it through.

Yep, sounds like he needs a Savage 25 lightweight varminter in 22 hornet. I've been thinking about one myself.
