Has anyone tried Lil Gun in the .25-20? I was thinking of the Hornady 60 grain FP. Does anyone know where I could get a starting load? Thanks.

I have used the 60 gr. Hornady flat point and Lil' Gun. My rifle is a #3 Ruger and my loads far exceed SAMMI pressures and as such, I don't want to list them here. H-110 yields the highest velocity in my rifle, but Lil' Gun is a close second.

You could safely start your load development at 9.0 grs. in a rifle in good condition though, this is where I started. What kind of .25-20 rifle do you have?

I found and recived 200 of the long discontinued .257 60 grain Hornady Spire Points on Ebay the other day, I can't wait to try them out. Should be a much better long range bullet than the flat points.

I can eamil you the loads I tried if you want.
