Lil'Gun in 357 Mag with 180gr. XTP

[flabbydan]

Where can I find published data using Hodgdon Lil'Gun in the 357 magnum with the 180 grain Hornady XTP?  I thought I remembered seeing a maximum load listed as 18.0 grains, but that seems like too much.  Any info would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks.

Data for Hornady XTP and Nosler PT is NOT the same. The Nolser is a harder bullet developing higher pressures than the softer XTP. Go to the Hornady site for data for their bullet.
