If you're saying that they all have to be full power 454s.....I'll pass on that! A three month long headache and shoulder bruise is not what i'm wanting at all. I'd probably never be able to shoot even a .22lr without flinching again.

I've read nothing but good things about Lilgun, so I got 9 lbs of it. I like to have a one lb can that I load from, and replenish that can from the big jug when it gets low. Less spillage from the little can, and when the big one runs out, I usually have enough in the little one to last till I get another big one. At least that's how it's suppose to work! I have read that lilgun burns HOT, and the barrel gets hot quick. DUHHHH :roll: Does your car motor get hotter when you mash the GO pedal to the floor???? I aint never seed nun of dat cooool burning powder.

But does it make less pressure for the same velocity as other powders?

As a rule of thumb, yes, if you are talking about H110/W296.

Ok. Well the velocity for lilgun usually looks about the same as 110/296 so,..... what happens? Do you run out of space for powder in the case before hitting the pressure limit? The stuff seems very dense. An 8 lb jug of it is smaller than a 4 lb jug of power pistol.
