    Apparently you are getting the Canadian manufactured IMR 4227 back

    Several users have noted it now says "made in Canada" on the 1 lb. plastic bottles.

    As has been discussed here in the past, the Australian manufactured IMR 4227 was suspected to be H4227 with graphite added. Several Australian members here have confirmed the ADI made and numbered 4227 (different number but I don't remember what) also had graphite added, which made the "switch" of H for IMR a suspected event.

    If you can get some real close up pics of the two types of powder it would help to identify.

    I only have the new Canada powder from Cabela's a few months ago. I took pics of the label and powder of it helps. Lot is 1062514 over 4498. I figure that means it is from June of this year.

    It looks like the H4227. Notice the slight green tint and the hollow looking grains.

    My new 1lber matches the pics above. I'm new to 4227, what should I be aware of if anything?

    Bought a bottle two weeks ago at the LGS, checked it today - IMR 4227 made in Canada.
    At the same LGS today, picked up another bottle of SR-4759 and one of IMR 4895. Checked the cans of IMR 4227 they had in stock and and they all said made in Canada. Not NOS, they had no IMR 4227 a couple months ago when I started stocking up.

    I would not be mixing powders from the different countries for sure. I would be getting a email or call into Hodgdon to find out what is going on. I know they tell you to not mix powders and we have all done it. But this case I think I would hang on and not do it.
