IMR 4227, or H-4227 or Winchester 296 have all worked well in my two Hornets with 40 or 45 grain bullets. The 40 gr Blitzking and 40 Nosler Varmageddon (tipped) have done well in a few recent load work ups. My rifles are a Ruger no.3 and a Kimber Super America 82.

I’ve also developed some 22 Magnum level loads with Alliant 2400 and IMR-4759 (discontinued) using the same 40 grain hollow point bullets that have been loaded in the 22 Mag along with the 40 and 45 grain Sierra “hornet” bullets and the Speer 46 grain flat nose.

I’ve tried Lil Gun but my rifles didn’t do very well
