Hodgdon Lil' Gun Powder: Purpose-Built for Demanding Reloaders

Hodgdon Lil' Gun represents a significant advancement in reloading powder technology, specifically engineered to solve the longstanding challenges associated with .410 bore shotshell reloading.

The Problem It Solves

For decades, reloaders have struggled with .410 bore ammunition. Traditional powders presented three persistent problems: inconsistent fit in small cases, unreliable burning characteristics, and metering difficulties. Hodgdon's advanced manufacturing technology addresses all three issues.

Performance Characteristics

Metering and Consistency

• Flows smoothly through powder measures without bridging or hanging
• Delivers uniform charge weights for reliable, repeatable loads
• Engineered for the small case volumes inherent to .410 bore

Burning Characteristics

• Burns cleanly and completely across the velocity range
• Produces consistent pressure curves for predictable ballistics
• Minimizes fouling and residue buildup

Versatile Applications

While designed primarily for .410 bore shotshells, Lil' Gun excels in multiple reloading applications:

• Magnum Pistol Loads: Delivers the burn rate needed for powerful handgun cartridges
• .22 Hornet: Proven performance in this small but demanding rifle cartridge
• Other Shotshell Gauges: Compatible with various shotshell reloading scenarios

What You Get

Each 8-pound canister provides substantial reloading capacity. This size is ideal for serious reloaders who work with multiple calibers and want to maintain consistent inventory.

The Bottom Line

If you reload .410 bore ammunition or work with magnum pistol cartridges, Lil' Gun eliminates the guesswork and frustration. It's a powder that simply works—metering reliably, burning consistently, and delivering the performance your loads demand.
