Hodgdon Lil'Gun

Hodgdon Lil’Gun

Hodgdon Lil’Gun is a modern spherical propellant engineered specifically for reloading .410-bore shotshells. Known for its consistency and clean-burning characteristics, Lil’Gun was developed to solve many of the challenges traditionally associated with loading the .410, such as poor metering, improper fit, and suboptimal burn rates. This advanced powder offers a precise fit in the hull, greatly reduces shot spillage, and eliminates case bulging, making it a standout choice for high-performance .410 reloads.

Unlike traditional powders that may struggle with uniformity in smaller bore sizes, Hodgdon Lil’Gun provides excellent ignition and smooth, reliable metering. Its flattened spherical geometry promotes consistent charge weights and dependable shot-to-shot performance, which is crucial for both competition and field use. Whether you’re reloading for hunting or target shooting, Lil’Gun simplifies the process and delivers predictable results with every shell.

Beyond its specialization in .410 shotshells, Lil’Gun also performs exceptionally well in magnum pistol cartridges. Handloaders working with high-performance revolver calibers like the .357 Magnum or .44 Magnum will appreciate its ability to generate high velocities with reduced barrel wear and low flash. Additionally, Lil’Gun has developed a strong reputation for its compatibility with rifle cartridges such as the .22 Hornet, where it offers outstanding velocity potential and accuracy, especially in varmint and small-game applications.

Hodgdon Lil’Gun’s versatility, ease of use, and efficiency make it a preferred choice for both shotshell and centerfire cartridge reloaders. The powder’s clean-burning composition means less fouling and easier cleanup, extending the service life of firearms and improving overall shooting experience. From experienced reloaders to those just getting started with .410 bore or magnum pistol rounds, Lil’Gun provides the kind of reliable performance that helps take reloading to the next level.

Hodgdon Lil’Gun is available in 14 oz., 4 lb., and 8 lb. containers, offering options suitable for both low-volume handloaders and high-volume reloaders who demand precision and consistency.
