I'll have to keep that in mind when I try Lil' Gun in .44 Mag. Only used it in .22 Hornet thus far.except I think Lil'Gun delivers better results with a Magnum primer too
I'm 99.99% sure it is. Not as fine grained as H110/W296 or AA # 9. I have been quite happy with AA # 9 and lead or jacketed bullets over the years, but am intrigued by Lil' Guns ability to achieve the same velocities with less pressure in some applications. It has to be good for case life with those fragile Hornet cases, and it couldn't hurt in .44 Mag. It may prove especially good with the Speer 270 Gr Gold Dot, which I currently load with W296. I am almost out of it though. I don't load any top end .357, but some experimentation with Lil' Gun and really heavy bullets in .357 might make a good project someday.I am close to 99% sure Lil' Gun is a ball powder
Sorry 4$bill, I haven't tried that yet but I promise I'll post a range report when I do, chrono data and all.I never used a smaller bullet with Lil-gun but I'm waiting to see a post from ArchAngelCD as he mentioned he may try a 158 grain with it sometime.
