Users of Lil Gun in Handgun Loads

[Bullseye]

In my 357 Mag, 41 Mag and 44 Mag I use IMR 4227.  I get better accuracy with 296, but do not care for the muzzle blast and flash I get with 296 and 2400.

Lil Gun looks interesting, very high velocity at a low pressure.  My questions are....

Is it a ball or flake powder like 296 or extruded like IMR 4227?

How is the muzzle blast and flash?  Harsh like 296 & 2400 or more mild like IMR 4227.

How is the accuracy with this powder?

Thanks.

Hi Bullseye,
Lilgun is a flattened ball that's a little bit larger than 296, and it meters nicely.
It seems to have less muzzle flash than H110/296 and works better with the lighter bullets than 296 does.
Accuracy is right on par with the others also.
I have used it in my Hornet, 44 and 454. When shooting lighter cast bullets 215g or 180g jacketed in the 44, H110 gives way too much blast and that's what I use the Lilgun for.
I did some testing in my old hornet bbl and it was quite promising  but havent had a chance to try it in this new bbl yet. It's easier to light than the others or at least seems that way. I want to try some in my 4" 357 to try and remedy the "flamethrower" affect.

Bullseye,
I started with H-110 and 4227, but have wound up using L'il Gun.  It burns clean and seems to have a little edge on accuracy in my guns.  One thing that I have noted is that I get the best accuracy out of the near top end loads.  It doesn't seem to shoot well with reduced loads.
Best,
TnNuc

ive had good luck with it but seem to have a little sharper recoil with it also
