Big difference in shooting lil gun in a rifle, and shooting through a revolver. Like apples and oranges.

Tried Lil-gun in 32 mag for the reported max velocities when it first came out. Got the velocity's and ex accuracy. Through a 32 mag ruger ss revolver started getting forcing cone erosion in under a dozen rounds. Not serious disabling erosion, but easily visible. Used Lil gun again in 357 marlin lever, and got no discernible affects. Again got best velocity and accuracy with Speer's old 170 fsp.

Have several 357 mag revolvers that have minimal throat erosion, but not with lil gun.

These are statements, not questions.
