I think most of us looked at Lil'Gun after reading the load data provided by Hodgdon. It is without a doubt the greatest powder every made for the 218 Bee in rifles with those copper covered bullets.
In the 357 S&W Magnum it has delivered great accuracy and the highest velocity with the least pressure of any powder I have found. And does it in both my Colt “Three Fifty Seven” and a Martini single shot with Lyman's #358156, solid and HP's. And it is a LOUD powder, not much flash, but bore pressure is certainly high at the muzzle of the rifle.
My problem is trying to get any kind of accuracy out of the 32/20 rifles or 32 H&R Magnum pistols with cast bullets. I have used RCBS 98 grain SWC, Lyman's #311316, #311008 and #311576. They all shoot good with Bullseye, WW231, Unique and the rifles SR4759.
One thing I have learned is that as the sectional density gets higher (longer for caliber) you have to reduce the charge a lot. In the 32/20 going from the 120 grain to the 150 #311440, Lil' Gun has no advantage on SR4759 or IMR42247. But for the 115 grain #311316 it is 300 f/s faster than anything else. I just wish I could make it shoot better than 5 inch groups at 100 yards.
