Got some new powder - Lil Gun - what is it great for?

[jtcarm]

.300 BO, .22 Hornet.

Magnum revolvers, though I hear reports that it damages forcing cones over time. I tried it in .357, but accuracy was meh.

[358156hp]

Works GREAT in the 50 Beowulf but I haven’t used it in anything else.

I've heard it's great in rifle cartridges, including 458 SOCOM and 300 BO too.

It’s fabulous for .357 carbine loads.
I easily broke the 2000fps mark with 158gr bullets.
I think it was originally designed as a .410 shotgun powder.

I’ve been using Lil Gun exclusively in 22 Hornet, 13 grains over a Nosler 40 grain BT. Fast, accurate, and takes jackrabbits apart. I’m going to experiment with it in my rifle in 32-20 Win.

What I wouldn’t give to have a place to roam and shoot jacks.

Way back when I had family in the Texas Trans-Pecos, friendly ranchers would gladly let you kill all the long-earred vermin you wanted.

Also having an uncle who was a pumper got us access to more oil-leases than I could hunt in a lifetime.

But Texas, being mostly private property and hunting big business, no such thing anymore. Even if I did have access to all that land a stones-throw from the border, I’m not sure I’d care to go wandering alone.

I haven’t loaded Hornets in a couple years, but IIRC, 12 grains of Lil Gun was all I could fit in a case.
