Lil gun was rather dissapointing, to the point that didn't even bother with keeping that data. In the area of 2 inch groups.

I settled, rather happily, on 17.4 grains of AA1680 behind a 50gr Blitzking, sparked by a BR-4. I believe it was a COAL of 1.910. Also equally loved 50gr nosler ballistic tips with AA1680. Both are 5 shots.

Nice shooter! What a find, huh?

I haven't seen bad bullets for a fireball in the 40-55gr weight range. Even the cheapies do just fine. If it were me, I'd spend on what I could buy in bulk. My brother likes the 55 Hornady PSP with cannelure. I like the 50gr Z-max. Have wanted to try the Nosler Varmageddon stuff, but haven't gotten a round tuit yet.

Strange that the Lil' Gun did so poorly for you. I've only seen it shoot well, and fast. Very fast.
