MJ, I am really interested in the loads with that powder, bought a pound of it a few weeks ago, close to $30. though LOL From what I have read it is a slower powder (burning) so in the short barrel...

it really is a good powder. word has it, its been around since 1935 so if its still widely used today, its gotta be some good stuff. i needed to try something a little lighter because i went out and...

When the slide is coming back into battery from the ejection of a fired round this is all done with the recoil springs. I don't think the powder is the root cause of this problem. I would suspect the...

I've used IMR4227 with my .50 and honestly didn't like it. I'm not sure why but it seemed to be more of a jarring recoil than H110 or 2400. I've used H110, N110, 2400, AA9, and 4227 and of those, I...

burrhead: i believe it may not be pulling the slide the whole way back before it starts to return. that was just my guess since it has never happened to me when using lil'gun. first 10 shots were...

Ya what your saying about bullet weight is about right. But if your coming back far enough to strip the cartridge from the mag I'd think that's hot enough if your ejecting the spent cases pretty...

well i went to the range today and i shot off the last 10 rounds i had of the lighter loaded bullets with the 4227. 3 times the slide failed to fully return. i loaded 20 rounds of the ones .6gr above...

MJ, You mention Hornaday and their recommendation? What did you finally come up with, in the case? What bullet weight? I am not totally sure, so I asked! Thanks for keeping us informed... Regards GAB

hornady recommends 32.1gr, which werent all that great for me. the ones that worked perfect were 32.7gr. those are for the 300gr rainier hollow points. i buy the hollow points because they're only a...

MJ, Looking forward to reviews. The thing about 4227, is slow burning. If you have a 6" barrel, you can be on the hot side. Bet it will be very bright. Regards, GAB
