Need help with Powder selection for .32's and .327

[CM_from_PA]

You just brought a can of worms and I’ll open it, why not?!

Hodgdon Lil’Gun has a reputation for eating revolver forcing cones. This reputation was established and traveled from it’s origin at Freedom Arms in Wyoming, where it was destroying .454 Casull guns.

Does Lil’Gun eat forcing cones of smaller diameter revolvers? I do not know, but I will say this…

I’ve been loving this hobby for 3-1/2 decades and I probably have an array of a couple dozen plus different powders in my cache and after learning about the Lil’Gun fiasco and deep diving in to it, I -GAVE- away what was left of the pound I had to a buddy and I won’t go near the stuff.

Especially these days, just far too many options to dink around with something suspect.

Sevens, you son of a gun! I've been reading your posts on the .327 all over the internet. I can't help but respect your opinion, goshnabit!

Haha. I’ve written a bit on my adventures with handloading the cartridge, almost exclusively on TFL Forums. Of particular interest might be the fun adventure in using the Xtreme 123gr .311” bullet designed for the 7.62x39 round.
