Joe,
Look on the can (plastic bottle ) and see where it was made.

If it's the original IMR 4227 (short grain) it will say made in Canada.

If it's the longer grain, it will say, made in Australia and is actually H4227. Hodgdon only sells H4227, packaged in IMR 4227 cans.

That change was made about 5 years ago and the IMR can still be found found in plastic ans but, it will be older than that. CHECK the can, to see where it was made.

I buy all my 4227 at gun shows now. If it's in a metal can, your safe but, you gotta check toughs plactic ones if you want REAL IMR 4227!

All though now probably a mute case with the 4759 being discontinued the Belding & Mull was the best Powder Measure I had found for that purpose. As well as some other hard to measure stick powders back when I was still re-loading for my 25-06 Hunting Rifle and now long gone.

My miss understanding CF my Harrell Schuetzen measure did a nice job of metering 4227 back when I was doing extensive testing of all the various powders. I have also seen several using a Lyman 55, Redding BR and the Beldiing & Mull with good success and the one I started out with and used for several years.
