[QUOTE="Dean2, post: 2777560, member: 26077"] 4955 is Temp stable and has Copper cleaner in it. It is very similar to H4831 in burn and performance. Therefore it works well in most cartridges that like H4831, like your 243 with 90+ grain bullets. Off the top of my head I have used it in the 7 Rem Mag, 300 Mag, 257 Bee and the 300 RUM. It gave me good accuracy and velocity in everything but the one 7 Rem Mag. There the velocity was fine but I couldn't get it to group well, went back to H4831. To be fair, I have heard many many people talk about how unstable/spikey Lil'Gun is. The internet is replete with hundreds, maybe thousands, of accounts of pressure issues. I have loaded and shot 10s of thousands of 22H, 221 FB and 17H at gophers, and never had a problem. However, if you load below min load it will act wonky, and if you don't respect the effect a small increase in charge or change in primer has in those small cases you could get a nasty surprise. Same holds true of trying to light load a 7 RUM or 300 RUM. Not a good idea at all. There is no two ways about it, reloading takes a lot of thought and knowledge and you are definitely making good progress along the learning curve. [/QUOTE]
