That sure is smoking hot!
I bet there was a bit of recoil with that load.
Thanks for sharing the info. When I run across some heavier bullets I will have to give them a try.

Actually, not really heavier recoil. Lil'Gun was developed for 410 shotgun shells and then found a home with the .22 Hornet. When used in Magnum handgun shells it seems to generate high velocities without developing high pressures. The trade off, very high temperatures. I will not use Lil'Gun in .357 Magnum ammo meant for my handguns, only in my leverguns.
The velocities are higher and the pressures are much lower with Lil'Gun. I can't explain it but it's true... (especially with heavier bullets)
