And a crimp die. I have a hornet crimp die you can borrow and see if it makes any difference.

I think your load is way to hot will check later but I was using 35 Vmax with that much Lil Gun.

All over it for small pistol primers and a Lee crimp die already fellas, I'm using Rem 5 1/2s with this and Kel's K-Hornet. The 12.0gr load for Lil Gun was the starting load according to the Hogdon site, think I'll back it off to somewhere around 11.5-11.6gr instead and see what happens.

Cheers
