Welcome.
Everyone raves about Lil Gun in the Hornet, but it never lived up to all the hype for me in any of the three Hornets I load for. My best Hornet loads are with W680 ( discontinued but you may have some laying around ), AA1680, and 2400. Never really liked the lighter bullets and stuck with the Hornady 40 grain and CCI small rifle primers. Don't over look some of the older Sierra and Speer bullets that were intended for Hornet velocities. They work very well.
40 gr V-Max and a case full of 1680 work in both the hornet and the K-hornet. I have yet to play with Lil Gun. Maybe this summer but the results I have gotten with 1680 have been more than acceptable, 1/4" groups on paper and lots of dead animals.
