Ammo and reloading section is about 20 headings down - think you'll have better luck asking there.

NEW2458,

You'll find 29gr. of lil'Gun a very boring load with the 325gr.FTX, (2.23 COL) as all of the bullets tend to
go in the same hole.

Jack...

NEW2458,

Watch that lil'Gun. It is not as forgiving as some other powders
and I only use it for the 325gr. FTX and the 300gr. Rem. HP

I found it was not as flexible as, RE-7, IMR-4198, or W-296.

If you later decide to try lead bullets W-296 is very flexible.

Jack... PS. I use a carbine length gas system
