i recently picked up a lb of 4227 and was going to load some 125 gr nosler bt but looks like the lgs has some w296 in stock, the powder i had wanted in the first place... i haven't loaded any yet but might switch to the w296. is there a lot of difference? according to some load data including hodgdon's site, the w296 with the same load (even powder weight) the w296 has more velocity and it's not a compressed load... any reason why i might want to go with what i have?
if i do decide to try out the w296, i see that the 4227 is more for magnum or short cased rifles. is this a good powder for 44 mag? might get one in the near future... also read that you have to use more powder to achieve a velocity other similar powders would have with less... if anything i might just make light 300 blackout loads out of them...
