Ned,
Hodgdon doesn't give any spec's on 'Lil gun for 25/20, but that doesn't mean you can't use it. They do have a warning (recall) on that powder. I haven't used it in any of my 25/20's, but it's close to the 4227 burning rate and I have had real good luch it. ...Geo web page

Hey Ned....I been using Lil Gun in the 25-20 for about a year.

Use 7.5 grains with either the 257420, 257312 or 257463.

This will run about 1650-1700 and gives good accuracy and burns clean./beagle
