    Hodgdon Li' Gun is what I use, 12.7 grains to be precise under a 35 grain V Max bullet. I get around 550 rounds per tub with spot on accuracy.
    Not camp, Gary just wishes I were!

    vectan sp3 the hornets performs best with fast burning powders as it has a small case that holds little amounts of powder

    Hodgdon Lilgun is the powder of choice, can't get any round here so I've started using Hodgdon H110 with decent results.

    I use 12.7 grains of Lil Gun under 35 grain V Max bullets and get very good results.

    Please note:

    THE ABOVE LOAD MAY NOT BE SAFE IN YOUR RIFLE, OR ANYONE ELSES RIFLE! Shouty safety warning over.

    My CZ 527 performs best with 12.2 gr. Lilgun, 40 gr. V-Max bullets. pops out at about 2,750 fps, plenty fast enough.

    The trouble with buying from Kranks is that it is a 180 mile round trip for me or £25 charge for postage for powder and not possible to buy bullets by post.

    I've not tried 45gr but I would start out at 12 gr and work up, Lilgun has low chamber pressures so it's safe enough.

    Hi Ozzie, go here www.hodgdon.com/basic-manual-inquiry.html and have a look, there are a few powders that you can use.
