Because of the known issues from premature and excessive forcing cone erosion problems using Lil' Gun in revolvers, I don't use it in any revolver of mine anymore....especially the .460, where it has an exceptionally poor track record. While it works well for heavy for caliber bullets, I certainly wouldn't consider it for the 200 grainers. BTJM.

I myself prefer h110/W296 or IMR4227 for full blown .460 loads. Never had much luck with 2400 outta my 10.5 P.C. Compensated Hunter. I too prefer the 300 gr XTP-MAGS, but shoot the 240s at paper because they're cheaper. While the 200 FTX perform well on paper, I would not consider them an appropriate hunting bullet for anything larger than song-dogs.
