    LilGun is a slow ball powder. Small charges of this type of magnum powder usually results in problems. Bullet stuck in the barrel, powder is a semi burned melted wad of goo.....
    Hodgdon does not list any 38+P loads with LilGun.

    Yet Hodgdon loads both Lil'Gun and H110 in the 410 shotshell at pressures half what a 38 +P does. I've never understood why. The bullet sticking perhaps combined with inconsistent ignition?
