PRODUCT RECALL

April 11, 2003

HODGDON POWDER COMPANY, INC.
SMOKELESS POWDER

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: LIL' GUN� SMOKELESS POWDER � 1 LB. CONTAINER, LOT NUMBER: 103080221

WARNING: Hodgdon Powder Company, Inc. has determined that a small number of one pound (1 lb.) containers of Hodgdon's LIL' GUN smokeless powder may create excessive pressures in firearms when loaded in cartridges and/or shotshells using standard loading data. Such a condition, if present, may cause personal injury to the user and/or bystander and damage to the firearm. Users should immediately cease using this product and return it to Hodgdon Powder Co. as instructed below:

RETURN OF PRODUCT AND REPLACEMENT:
All persons in possession of Lot #103080221 of Hodgdon's LIL' GUN 1 lb. containers of smokeless powder should immediately call 1-800-622-4366 (toll free) or (913) 362-9455 for instructions from Hodgdon's Customer Service Dept. as to the return of this product.

With 357 mag 158 gr, LIL'GUN is higher velocity at lower pressure than H110/W296 like H110 is higher velocity than Bullseye. LIL'GUN can make my 24 ounce 357 mag kick like a 44 mag.

But with 24 gr of H110 and 240 gr in 44 mag with my 46 ounce S&W 29-4, 1450 fps is already as much power as I want.

So I have not bothered swithching from H110 to LIL'GUN in 44 mag, becuase I don't want any more velocity, there is only 60 fps to be gained, and burning H110 smells better than LIL'GUN.

I am still playing with LilGun. It won't replace H110 for my loads. It is a nice alternative.
