I have a bunch of IMR 4227 on hand. What is your favorite load with this powder? I have all types of bullets from 110 blacktips to 220 SMK. I have 10,000 or so 190 gr Nosler CC’s that I load with 10.0 gr of 1680. I’d like to load up a few thousand rounds with this powder but curious as to what loads would be best. I also have Lilgun, H110, 1680, and Trailboss on hand. I worked up a load with Nosler 140’s and 17gr of Lilgun that are very accurate at 100 yards. So, what is your pet load with IMR4227?
Thanks,
T

Re: IMR 4227 for supers and subs???
These subsonic loads are what my 8" suppressed pistol likes. As always YMMV.
220 SMK in LC case. 9.7gr IMR 4227. CCI 400 primer. 2.220 COAL
225 Hornady BTHP in LC case. 8.8 gr IMR 4227. CCI 400 primer. 2.220 COAL
200 Maker HP in LC case. 8.4 gr IMR 4227. CCI 400 primer. 2.120 COAL
All three of these loads are 970-980 fps which is the speed range this barrel likes. Yours will most likely like something else.

Yep. My sub is "Lee 230 grain" hard alloy at 223 grains after powder coating. 9.5 grains 4227. Same powder for other subs.
I mostly use h110 for supers.

imr 4227 was my secret load but now that the cats out of the bag I will tell you that in my 14" upper 9.0 grains ,wolf srm primers and berrys 220
plated bullets work very well. cycles and sub-sonic and accurate

Re: IMR 4227 for supers and subs???
I meant to say in the post above, that I really need to give people here the credit for that load. Both dolomite supafly and dellet suggested loads in that general range and they were very helpful to me.
Re: IMR 4227 for supers and subs???
Dolomite-Supafly tipped me onto IMR 4227 for subs and it has been great powder for subsonics.

Re: IMR 4227 for supers and subs???
Thanks guys. I’ll start a load work up for 220gr subs.
Re: IMR 4227 for supers and subs???
I also settled on 9.5 gr 4227 with 218 gr Gallant bullets. Chased my tail for a bit when I started, due to the S&B primers I had grabbed giving MUCH lower velocity than they should, which I only discovered by switching to Win SRPs.
