Lilgun powder
Looking for some thoughts on this powder..I have done some research on it and see where it burns really hot.
Some say it will burn the throat out of the fire arm. One guy mentioned how after two cylinders of 44 he couldn't how on the Barrel. ?? I guess the accuracy is excellent. But I don't want to ruin my my Henry. So what's your thoughts on this...

Re: Lilgun powder
Once again, I think you'll be better off with Winchester 296, Hogdon H110, or IMR 4227. Just my 2¢ worth.

Re: Lilgun powder
You can buy Hogdon powder direct. Watch their web site daily as the type and amounts fluctuate. I purchased 4lbs of 296 and 2lbs of H110 the other day. Buy enough to make the hazardous shipping charge worth the order. They've got IMR 4227 in stock today. It may not last long though.

Re: Lilgun powder
I have never used Lilgun powder.
I prefer 2400 or AA#9 for .44 magnum (standard primers). I have also used IMR4227 and H110 (magnum primers).

Re: Lilgun powder
Ive used it and its fine in a rifle. I wont use it in a pistol though because it does eventually wear and tear on the forcing cone. Freedom Arms a custom pistol maker in Wyoming does not recommend using it with there pistols. I agree on 2400,296, and 4227.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Lilgun powder
I use it for a strictly hunting load. Not a plinking powder for sure.

It’s the powder of choice in the 450 Bushmaster for a lot of people in rifles. Never read even one report of any harm being done.
