Default Lil'Gun in a .41 Mag?

Has anyone tried Hodgdon's Lil'Gun powder in a .41 Mag?

I'm looking at the load data on the Hodgdon web site, and for the 210 grain Hornady XTP (and almost every other bullet weight) Lil'Gun shows the highest velocity with the lowest pressure.

I'm wondering how it is for accurate loads.

In my opinion,H110 is UNBEATABLE for "fullhouse" loads in magnum revolvers.

Hey stalkingbear, I agree with you on the qualities of H110. I also like 2400 for heavy bullets.

But heck, no one seems to have tired Lil'Gun. It might be great if Hodgdon's pressure/velocity figures are right. Guess I'll just have to give it a try for myself.

If you go to a store where they sell reloading supplies, the little free powder manual from Hodgdon has data for the powder you want to try. I have one out in the garage, tomorrow I can see what they have for data.

I was looking at the data on their website. It's pretty good.
