Powder question

My dealer thinks Hodgedons 4227 is being discontinued or at least his supplier is no longer carrying it. Can one use IMR 4227 as an exact dupicate or must  I re work my loads?

There is a difference between the two powders IMR 4227 and Hodgdons 4227. I think the Hodgdon version is a bit slower.  My 32-40 preferred the Hodgdon version.

Now I am confused. If one is slower than the other why do you say thier is no difference. Seems they are different. Yes?

I suspect but don't know for sure that there would be as much difference lot to lot than Hogdon to IMR.

I don't think Hogdon makes 4227 just packages IMR bulk powder.

Anybody know for sure ?

marsh;
            I think I recall C. Hogdon saying [98 Schuetzenfest] that the only powder they actually made was Pyrodex. leadball
