How about using Winchester 296?
It's a tad slow for the 230 FMJ bullets but not by much. Have at it. I found it was a good choice for 300gr bullets. If you didn't already know this, its just like Hodgdon H110 in density and energy content. Start at 39gr, a hot primer, a COL of 2.05 and work up in half grain increments.

Thanks for the info hoot! I would like to find some Lil Gun but trying to find that is almost impossible... what do you recommend for primers?
While I'm a devoted fan of Remington 7 1/2 primers, they're even more hard to find than Lil Gun these days. A close second is CCI 450's. I have read that Tula magnum primers are good also. I never worried about hardness of primers in my AR platforms. Never had as much as a deep imprint after chambering so I can't say what all that fuss is about. In the absence of above, Winchester SRP are good also and Federal Match primers aren't too shabby either. Other than the Tula's, I've tried the rest and any of them will get the job done.

In Theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In Practice, there is.
