    Works great in 44 Magnum with any bullets. Gives less leading and wear IME. Also burns cooler.

    Usually anything the discontinued 4759 was used for only a little more of it. I use it in 30-06, 8x57 and 30-40 Krag.
    I like it.

    flint45,

    I understand fully. - I paid for my first "deer rifle" by peddling dressed catfish (for a buck each) door to door, off my trotline. = a Model 141 pump-rifle in .35 Remington.
    (Wishing that I'd been smart enough to keep it.)

    yours, tex

    17-20 grains of 4227 under just about any cast bullet 150-200 grains. Pressure won't be an issue. Twist rate will decide accuracy; by that statement I mean that a fast twist 308 (1:10) will need a lower charge to maintain an RPM rate below about 140.000. This equals about 1900 fps. Slower twist barrels can handle more velocity: My 30 XCB rifles (30x57) are all 1:14 and 21 grains 4227 gives 2100 fps and group around 1.25 MOA consistently.

    Bjornb I agree. I'm getting pretty much the same results with a 30-06 with 1-13 twist 21 grs 4227 works well. For a 10 twist 30-06 19 grs works well

    Had poor results today with H-110 in a .357 Max. Going to try 4227 soon.

    14.5 gr and a 170 gr cast sized 310 is a minute load at 100 yards in my CZ527 in 7.62X39, mild recoil and lots of fun to shoot

    texasnative 46, I wish I would of kept that super blackhawk also! back to the thread 23.0 grains with a 240 grain j-word or lead boolit has always done real good for me.

    I use it in subsonics for the 300 whisper and 220(9.5gr) or 240s(10.5gr), 338 BR and the 300 gr SMK(13.2gr) and the 510 whisper with 650gr anything (28.5gr) . Works pretty good but 2400, AA1680 and VV N110 work better. If its cheap and you're just blasting anyway its worth buying.
