Pulled some 327 Fed Gold Dot 115 g.Powder looks like H110.Weight 12 grains. What is it?

This is just an educated guess but my money would be on "non-canister" powder

The 12 grains of powder allows about 1/4 in space in the case.

Most likely the powder is another form of unobtainium.

True.Very tight crimp it seems maybe a compressed load.

12 grains of AA#9 would put you in the ballpark for the velocity I have chronographed from a 3" SP101, right at 1315 fps.
