The bottom line is, I don't care what powders you already have in your reloading setup. If you're loading the 450b and don't have Lil Gun, get some. Looking at those "lawyer approved" tables, Lil Gun almost always delivers the highest velocity before you hit max recommended pressure. Not that max velocity is the end all goal. Usually you can find an accuracy node, not far from max velocity. That's your particular rig telling you that you have found a good recipe. What your rig likes is the most important factor. Rarely the same from one barrel brand/length/twist/gas system/bore finish to another.

Thanks Al.

Lil Gun is my prefered powder. It also works great in my 22 hornet and .44 rem mag. So far its the only powder I have been using. Liking what I am seeing with it so far.

Im shooting the same upper you are Hoot. If I find something it likes I will let you know. To be honest though if I can get her about an inch or less I may be happy. Im looking minute of deer to max 150 yards but in all honesty 98% of my shots are 30-75:yards.
