Greetings,
I just bought a pound of Hodgdon Lil'gun on the recommendation of a fella at a local gun shop. He claims it will produce higher velocity with less pressure (depending on the loading) than H110 or W296. He also claims it is not as finicky ignition wise when compared to these two other powders as well. I plan to start with 240 Gr. JHP's and use CCI 350 magnum primers and Winchester cases. (18" Carbine barreled bolt gun)
Does anyone on this board have any experience with this powder? I'm also looking to experiment with .357 Mag in a Marlin 1894 CS so any shared experience with this powder in that caliber would also be appreciated.
Thanks!
SM
