***What Abilene said in his two posts*****  I've been reloading handgun and rifle loads since 1976 and have been using 4227 since that time, BUT only in .357 and 44 Mag loadings. Have used it some in high end 44 Special loads also. Once loaded up some 38 Special with 125 grain Speer HP's, but decided before even firing them in my J-Frame Smith Model 60 they were to much in the +P category which isn't recommended for many or any +P----loosen the thing up to much. Fired them in my 357's. I have used 4227 for cast bullet reduced loadings in my collection of military model bolt action rifles with success, but it is a recommended powder for doing so.

IMO and all the readings I've done, 4227 wouldn't be a good powder for CAS powered 38 Spec or any other caliber. You'd be over the legal power ratings for competition ifin you do load your 38's with 4227 to reach its accuracy potential and with reduced loadings not realize its potential. Plenty of faster pistol/shotgun powders out there if ya can get them that would reduce the "wailing and gnashing of teeth" you'd get using 4227 for Cowboy Action loadings or just stick with Trail Boss.

Morning y'all.
Coffee and tea are ready.

I'm praying for Jonathan's healing.

'Tis 63 and cloudy. "Humid. Cloudy. Isolated showers in the morning  then showers and scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon. Highs in the lower 80s. South wind 10 to 15 mph. Chance of rain 90 percent."

Cathy is too humble.  She deserved the bouquet!  The food meals were terrific, and I think it was from the care and kindness she added to the recipes.  THANK YOU CATHY!!

Afternoon all.

Happy Independence Day to you all. Enjoy some fireworks and freedom for me.

My Independence Day did not involve much. I did some group PT for “morale,” and then did normal work.
