Huh, well ok. I'll give it a go next weekend.

So with that 240 grainer you would start at 13.5 grains of 2400?
What would you expect for Velocity out of my 4" barrel?

#1 The 215 grain SWCHP from GT with 13.5 grains of 2400 & a Remington 2 1/2 cap. This gave me 1012 fps with an ES of only 15 fps. I...
Have a N frame round butt, thinking of trying these, anyone have a pair? From the Boone Trading company.

Thinking of running some hard cast 250-255 gas checked in my new 657 no dash. Here it is hiding out in its fancy holster.
I've run the commercial cast LBT 250 grain solids in the past but open to...
I'd agree, the 250 solid seems perfect to me. Just wondering about that 265 grainer & it's unusual shaped nose.

I'm looking to go the commercial cast LBT style, what do you all think, 250 or 265 grainers?

/\ This.
For magnum handguns it's out. In the .22 Hornet & .218 Bee rifle it's a perfect match IMHO.

AA 4100. Manufactured in Belgium.
I'm moving away from Lil' Gun in my magnum handgun loads as it offers little in the flame retardant department. Will continue to use it in smallbore centerfire...
This. Very light & flat. Load up with some high velocity hollow points & your set.
Loading these in my Ruger .41 magnum, just how fast can I push them before I'll develop problems? Lead is the Lyman alloy.
Have newer hammer forged barrel on mine.

Humm..
Well, I picked up a few pounds of WW 296 today. So I voted with my wallet.
I'll save the full can of Lil' Gun for that 357 or 41 mag carbine I'm planning on.
Thanks for the heads...

That is fascinating, I've never heard this before. Have to respect the advice from Freedom Arms, as they make some of the best revolvers in the world.
Any other powders they dislike?

Kgb, well that's disappointing.
That Speer bullet (in HP or SP) was my 1st choice loading my .41 special for years. My thinking was the lead was dead soft & could be counted on to expand into a...

Hodgons data shows this to be true.
From what I'm reading Lil' Gun gives top velocities, good accuracy with a lower operating pressure. But you have find the correct cartridge, bullet weight,...

Looking for feedback for revolver loadings 170-200 hardcast in .357.
Then 250 & up in the .41 magnum.
At what velocity threshold do gas checks come into the picture?

Taz, your the 1st user that has liked IMR 4227 in this application. If you get a chance to record muzzle velocity & SD please post or PM me.
