About this powder
Lil'Gun was developed specifically for the .410 bore shotshell, where its compact ball size and burn rate fill the small case efficiently. Also valuable in short-capacity rifle cartridges like .22 Hornet and .30 Carbine, and has found a home in .300 Blackout subsonic loads. Despite its name, it performs best near max charges.
