.22 hornet and lilgun info needed

[wilddog45]

I have a Winchester model 43 with a 1:16 twist bbl that I am loading for and I am having problems with boolit stability. I started off with a lyman 225438 and it cast at around 49gr. I then bought an ideal 225438 mold and it cast at 44.1gr (45gr with the lube and check). I want to use lilgun powder and was wondering if anyone has any load data for this combo for low pressure and over 2k velocity.I have used 13gr with a jacketed 46 gr winchester sp bullet with great results but was wanting to know if anyone has a similar setup with a cast boolit and would share their results.

See Beagle's article on castpics concerning the Hornet. I was going a little slower, so I used 2400.

I get better accuracy with AA1680 and lighter loads than with Lil'Gun. In most cases 11.5 grains with a gas check 225438 and small pistol primer did nice groups and smacked bunnies hard in my CZ. I got the load from a 43 shooter wanting to be easy on his old rifle.
