LilGun in a .357Mag?
TSD-
According to the loading data for the 357 on Hodgdon's web site, Lil'Gun with 170-grain Sierras is about 80 fps faster than any other powder; the next faster powder is 296/H110 at 5K psi higher pressure.
With 180 Noslers, it's about 25 fps faster than any other powder; the next faster is again 296/H110 at 5K psi more pressure. Dropping to 158-grain XTPs, Lil'Gun is 15 fps slower than 296/H110, but at 15K psi lower pressure.
With heavy bullets in the 357, it looks like Lil'Gun is better than a pair of goat glands. Perhaps I missed your point?
