Default 221 Fireball and Lil'Gun Results

My Hornets just plain don't like this powder, but with powder on hand I decided to give it a try in my CZ 527 American in 221 Fireball. As I worked up to the listed Hodgdon listed maximum of 16.0 gr. with a 40 grain bullet, the accuracy started getting better and better, and the 15.5 and 16.0 gr. loads delivered 1/2 MOA accuracy. I went home and loaded up more ammo for a return trip to the range, this time with my chronograph. The accuracy was for real and the 40 gr. bullets were clipping across the screens at 3616 fps! A stunning 300 fps faster than the Hodgdon load data.

Anyone else tried Lil'Gun in their 221 Fireball?
