H4227, IMR 4227, one has to go (Hogdon)

[John Y Cannuck]

Reported in Handloader, Hogdon will shortly discontinue H4227, as the IMR version is the bigger seller.
Stock up NOW, supplies are likely to disappear early in 2006

OK, guesses, what powder gets turfed next?

My bet is on IMR4350 or IMR4831 getting the axe.

That makes the best sense to me, I've never really noticed a difference betwen the 2, anyway...

John Barnsnes claims that all hodgon powders are not effected by temperature variances ( the ones label as temperature extreme I believe). Most IMR powders I have crono'ed in cold weather lose a lot of velocity.

I'd agree with this completely, but economics will probably have a lot to do with changes. Hodgdon may decide to just keep the best sellers across the board, which would be a shame if a better performing powder is lost to handloaders.
