Thread: 22 hornet load worked a treat

I use Lil’gun for my 218 Bee. Similar load as your Hornet, 12.5gn with a SP primer. I mainly use 40gn V-Max projectiles. Lil’gun is a bit fine and it can leak through the side of my Lee powder thrower leaving a small pile of talc like powder under it. I’ve read various U.S. forums stating that Lil’gun is the go-to powder for the Hornet & 218 Bee. Claims that it gets more velocity with less pressure. Works for me, and maximises case life.
