Boy that's a lot of Lil'Gun. I shoot it from a completely custom 450 Bushmaster with a 250gr bullet at 2,200fps with 37.9grs, the max listed by Hornady. At least the last data I have.


Here's some Published Loads below that I found years ago when these guns were popular. I've only tested the ACCURATE 5744 loads with good success.

I don't have an up-to-date Hornady book, maybe someone does. I'd like to see the latest maximum charges for Lil-Gun in a 450 Bushmaster.
