Pistol/Rife powder difference

[armednfree]

I'm looking at data for the 45 colt, High Presure. The data I have is for a 5-1/2" pistol. It show 22.2 grains of H110 for 1198 fps and 20.2 grains of LiL'Gun for 1208 fps. The loads are for 300 grain jacketed bullet, I'm shooting a 300 grain GC Lee. This is a 20" rifle. Question, in the rifle which would be faster? Curious, not that I expect any meaningful difference.

I know H110/W296 is a favorite for 45 Colt in carbines, but Lil' Gun is literally the next closest powder to it, so I doubt there's much of a difference. And it sounds like you can save a bit of powder using Lil' Gun so I'd try that first and see if you are happy with it.

I am, I shot it once and accuracy is about the same, it grouped about 2-1/2 inches higher at 40 yards. Funny thing, I had thought I bought some H110 but I couldn't find it so all I could buy was LiL'Gun. This morning I found the H110, on my second bench in a bag, 2 pounds. These things seem to happen more and more, and I'm only 55

What are you kidding me....finding two pounds of powder is like finding a $20 in your wash....Whoop, Whoop. Cause for celebration......

LilGun usually has the velocity edge. And it does it at a lower pressure. Tradeoff is heat, literally. Watch your barrel w/ long strings. It's been known to flame cut revolvers. I stopped using it because I don't like burning my hand.
