Freadshow10mm, Let us know how it works out. I have an unopened can of Lil"Gun waiting on the 360180 group buy I am honchoing.
Now if I can find a cheap .357 Mag contender barrel I can borrow redneckdan's contender and do some load workups. I don't have a .357 currently and hate to work out his K frame.

When Lil'Gun first came on the market I was shooting both a TC 10" 357 and a FA 357 with both 180 and 200 cast. My favoriate powder at the time was IMR 4227. I tried to reach the same velocity with Lil'Gun as I was getting with 4227. Even with a compressed load I never was able to get the same velocity. I,ve since switched to H-108 [ WC820-AA#9] for heavy boolit 357 loads. This was the very early Lil'Gun and I think I read it was changed.

Shoot only Cast Bullets!
I tried some Lil Gun and lar45's boolit week before last. It sure did NOT do well out of my GP100. In fact I posted here looking for a load with any boolit that would have a chance of performance out of the GP100.

I had a 4 inch GP100. Find a Lyman 358627 mold. It's the 215gr SWC with dual crimp grooves. I put a cylinder full of those with Lar's red into a group so small it scared me. That bullet makes me look good. 10 and 10.5gr #9 with a WSPM were the loads. Both as accurate as the other.

This is from my 180 Mountain Mold shot through a Marlin CB. All targets were shot indoors at 50 yards. I had a 4.5x14 Luepold and a lace on cheekpiece. I used a bag right in front of the lever so I wouldn't put pressure on the forend. I also a bag in the rear. I haven't shot any over a chrono yet, but that is coming.

Do not argue with idiots. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Here's some more. Lil'Gun is next. I also added a picture of my boolit.

Looks like 12.8 gr of 2400 was your best load. I'll have to look for a bottle of it and try it out. I currently have 2 lbs of Lil'Gun waiting for my group buy mold to come in.
In post #11, imashooter2, gives some chrono readings that should give you a good idea of velocities. When comparing targets, he is using iron sights and I cheating with a good scope.
I'm also working on a target plain based 160 grain boolit for plinking. I purposely made it with a 50% meplat and hope that it will work out for the long range, stalk and spot rocks, and metal tagets.
I added a picture of it just to muddy the waters.
