FWIW, if this powder was purchased 2-3 months ago, and if it is too "hot" I'd wager Hodgdon would already know about it by now.

In my experience 4227 doesn't download "beautifully". Like SLT223 said, it downloads dirty - i.e. it doesn't burn cleanly when downloaded below the middle of the range. But it still downloads better than H110/296.
