Thread: Allient 300-mp powder for .22Hormet and K-Hornet.

The go to powder for most in these calibers is Hogden Lilgun. Good powder. There are others but Lilgun seems to be the most popular.

I have stumbled onto some 300-mp which is a magnum pistol powder and so far have had better results in the K-Hornet I have opposed to Lilgun.
With the projectiles I intend to use I so far have faster and more consistent velocities for less powder which is a good thing.
After using uncle google I see a couple of mentions of it being used in the hornet. Reviews were not that great but I already tried it.
Not much load data either but sensible workup doesnt take much time.

I was getting 2850 fps with a Hornady 55gr and lilgun and now around 2900 with 300-mp and almost a grain less powder and still half a grain below my max load.
40gr Vmax at 3300fps.

All tested over a lab radar.

Just a matter of interest for those using either the Hornet or the K version and want to have a tinker and maybe want something new to try.

How much are you using I play with a couple of hornets only used lil gun so far and 35gr vmax

Smallest bullet I use is the 40 Vmax and that is running with 14.5 grn of 300-mp
The 55sp at 13 grns.

I'm at 12.5 with the lil gun is that mp compressed

just started playing with my ruger and H110.
any thoughts on that powder?

I can't get the 40gn Z Max to group in my Brno, but get good groupings with the Sierra 45gn projectiles. Still waiting for some LilGun to arrive at my place

Haven't tried it myself but it is supposed to go good.
