I tried Lil'Gun in the .357 and worked the whole range of loads and bullets. I never got good accuracy, decent maybe, but what bothered me was after 5 shots I could not touch the barrel. You could solder with it. There were no pressure signs and loads were under max. I had to wait 15 minutes between each 5 shots. This kind of heat generated in a fine barrel does not sit well with me so the rest will be used in the .410.
They don't list LIL'GUN for 357 mag 158 gr LSWC. I wrote them and asked why not. I shoot it all the time. They said they were worried the base of the bullet would melt.

Jay, not so unless the weather is extremely cold. I have used nothing but the Fed 150 in the .44 and .45 with 296 forever. In every test since 1956, the mag primer has tripled group size. I can only tell you to make your own side by side tests and not just do what the books say.
If im not mistaken I think we went thru this argument a few years ago regarding primers. I tried the 150s in my Redhawk and the accuracy wasnt as good as with the 155s, do believe I did post my results way back when, too. Ill stick with the 155s for now.
