Nosing around Google turned up nothing but great reviews on MBC 180 pugs- several comments like "most accurate load I've tried".
Now that's an endorsement.

One problem... my (limited) data sources don't include 180 grain lead among those tested with IMR 4227, only jacketed in 180 grains.
Any of you kind fellows have a data source?
From my Lyman cast bullet handbook.

11.6 of 2400 is plenty to get the job done and that's what I use. 1380- 1400 FPS out of my Henry with 20 inch barrel and sweet shootin' !

Well there you go Randy to the rescue. Dont be surprised if you see some powder kernals in the barrel. 4227 will do that. Give it a good firm crimp

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
