22 Hornet

by MDF99 @, SW Ohio, Monday, May 19, 2014, 20:35 (3783 days ago)

I'd quit using LilGun in my revolvers after Freedom Arms found it was burning up throats so I've had a couple pounds collecting dust. Here's a pic of factory Prvi ammo and handload groups from my new CZ 527 at 100 yds. Wondered if you all had an opinion on LilGun in 22 Hornet? I don't want to burn this barrel prematurely. Thanks. Matt

Almost the same boat. I have 8lbs that has been relegated

to my 43 Winchester in 218Bee. Have only used it sparingly, but it does give good results. Going to keep a close eye on the throat with my Hawkeye borescope.

22 Hornet

I have been burning mine up in my .22 hornet, actually it is the same load you are using just seated to a longer OAL for my 21" contender. I haven't been able to get quite as good accuracy but I haven't shot mine off of a bench much, mainly resting on the truck window or over the toolbox.

MY 32-20 GUNS LOVE LILGUN TOO. WHO GIVES AN FRA

If it ends up burning out a throat or barrel ? They make thousands of barrels everyday !! BUT inch+ groups at fifty yards from the 32-20 SAA and the M53 work just fine.

I haven't wore one out yet and believe me I have tried, well there was one Rossi, but I am not sure that counts.

I wonder about using it in a 357 lever gun?

I use Lil'Gun in my .22 Hornet, .218 Bee, .357 Mag

by Hobie ⌂ @, Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, Wednesday, May 21, 2014, 08:35 (3781 days ago) @ MDF99

.41 Mag, and something else that escapes me at the moment. Bought a 4 lb jug of it.

Appreciate input

I think I'll keep using the LilGun and will see if I can work up another good load with some 4227 single base just to see how barrel temp feels after a couple magazines vs the LilGun.
