You're hoping for a very reduced load in the 17 Hornet? Li'l Gun isn't the powder for that. Do you have any fast flake powders, as in Unique or faster? How about Titegroup? I use Titegroup in reduced loads in 17 Mach 4 to get to HMR speed and stellar accuracy with 20gr bullets. Have quite a bit of experience with working up reduced loads. Certain powders certainly work better than others. Reducing a full-power powder in an attempt to produce decent reduced loads seldom works. The burn rate is too slow.
