Didn't know that. Probably rebranded by some ammo manufacturer. Is there any info which one?

Where did you find that ammo?
Good info too, thanks for posting.

Found it on the interwebnetcyberholeshowauctionbrokerspacebook.
Did you see the velocity spread on the 180 grain?? Wish I could get that type of spread on my hand loads.

Back when I used to speak to the loaders of that ammo regularly, I believe the used IMR 4227 IIRC.

I found four boxes of 445 at my LGS for 19.95 a box the other day. They took them in on a trade and had been there for over 5 years. Never noticed them on a bottom shelf before. Asked about 445 and they showed me. Also had a doorknob tool they gave me for being a good customer. Lucky is better than good any day of the week!
