Can Lil'Gun work with 44 mag 240gr cast loads?
I'm not finding much data, and what data I do find is telling me to use it for heavier bullets. I ended up with 4lbs thinking I was going to reload for 350 legend, and that project is on hold. I don't mind investing in another powder like 2400, but just wondering if others have had good success with Lil'Gun.
Sorry, good questions about my post. I was going to load 350 legend, but am not for the time being. I want to try and use Lil"Gun with 44 mag 240gr cast if possible.

Hodgdon has jacketed or Gas Check load data for 44 mag. Lil'Gun is in the H110 powder family. Its a double based ball powder. On the burn rate chart Lil-Gun is right next to H110. Just a bit faster. A little extra Nitroglycerin, will make powder burn hotter & faster.
Hodgdon has the pressure higher for LilGun then H110, to get close to the same velocity.
I have loaded 240/250 gr plain based lswc with H110/W296 in 44 mag, without issues.
22.0 grs of Lil-Gun would be my guess for a maximum load for 240 gr lswc.
