1680 is my powder of choice for this caliber. I have only recently began using Lil-gun. I will try it...just not first on the list of things to do. 1680 works soo good I dont need to begin searching for a good load in this caliber...again!

If you find one, please post the results!!!

I shoot the Max in an Encore as a rifle and a pistol. I tried Lil-Gun this past spring and wasn't pleased with it. My groups were much larger than with other powders, not sure about velocity since I do not have a crono. I have found that for me and my firearms that Winchester 296 is the best. I am using Speer 125gr and 180gr bullets and also the Hornady 180gr.
