Oldrum,
Usage of Hodgdon LilGun..

I use Lil Gun in my .410 reloads / but nothing else. I hear guys talking about using it in .44 mag pistol cases but personally I use Hodgdon TiteGroup in .44 mag.

In Hodgdon's manual - listing pistol and shotshell powders in terms of burn rate - Lil Gun is the slowest of the bunch ( behind Clays @ #2, International @ 3, TiteGroup @4, Universal @6, Longshot @8th, H110 @10th and LilGun @ 11th. I don't think you'll find many applications for Lil Gun other than in the .410 .
