HW95J Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Following a great deal of time spent unsuccessfully trying to source Vectan Sp3 for reloading .410, I was wondering someone can point me towards load data for Hodgdon Lil Gun? I'm able to get hold of some of this. I'm using Fiocchi 3" cases, Fiocchi 615 primers and no.6 lead shot with 12mm fibre wad and 2mm over powder card.

Seadog1408 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 12 grains of lil'gun should give you 1100fps. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HW95J Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Thanks for this. What load of shot is this with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seadog1408 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 11/16 oz, or 19.4 grams in new money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you used this load yourself? Have seen people online also recommending 13, 15 and up to 17.5 grains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 12gr with 11/16 us about right. There is certainly no call for over 13gr without having loads test proofed first. Lilgun runs quite hot and near top end of 410 pressures when pushing 11/16. Hogden reccomended max plastic wad loads below for comparison. Gauge: 410 BoreLead Shot 11/16 oz.

No, I use 2 1/2 inch cases for my gun so run 13 grains of ramshot to 14 grams of no6 shot. i was just checking on your load and if you go up to 13 grains of powder that will give you 1240 fps. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HW95J Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Excellent, will start out with 12grains of powder with 19grams of shot and see where that gets me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
