I've use a lot of Lil'gun under the 385gr Rem bullet in a 500S&W rifle, Hodgdon has lots of data for the bullet.

I loaded up some this morning. Tried 37, 37.5, and 38 grains. A bit more kick than the reduced recoil loads I originally bought! Definitely was disappointed at the amount of residue left by Lil Gun and a magnum primer. Cleanup took a bit more than usual. Haven't decided where I want to be, so making another batch around that 37gr range.
