I triedTG. It worked...about 4 or 5 ounces.. The rest is still here. Not Real happy with it...Yep gets pretty hot fired fast. I have enough powders to use. I like to use powders with a bit higher powder charge.
This is interesting , the comments about Lil Gun powder !
I recently tried Lil Gun in 32 WCF. I used the data from the Hodgdon website. I fired maybe 18 rounds then pulled the rest. Apparently Lil Gun is not a good powder for 32 WCF. I had a lot of unburned powder, so much that it was pointless to continue. Accuracy was so - so, maybe a 5 inch pattern. I suspect that this powder likes to be at or near maximum in a magnum caliber to give good results.
It works better than Titegroup so I am willing to try it in a different caliber. Maybe 357 Magnum.
It would be interesting to see the results using an infrared thermometer firing 4 cylinders of a load with TG and again after the gun cooled down to ambient temperature four more cylinders of a single based powder that was going the same velocity.
Mine was exceptionally hot after firing only 50 rounds. So hot that I took a picture. It was leaching humidity from the air; something I have only seen previously when opening a 400 degree plus oven and having my glasses frost over. And you are telling us it doesn't happen? This is a picture of my revolver after shooting 50 rounds at a leisurely pace with Titegroup reloads. The frost you see disappeared after a few minutes as the barrel returned to 250 degrees.
I'm curious to hear from folks that use the powder as to their favorite loads for any of the above mentioned calibers.
