Bert, you probably already have this but.  My friend gave me a 1945 Ideal catalog and it has this.

Chuck,

I do have it (and several other reload recipes).  Before a began using Hodgdon’s Lil Gun powder, my go to was Alliant 2400.  Currently, I am loading with 13.5 grains of Lil Gun under a 40 gr Hornady V-Max.  Per Hodgdon’s references, the Lil Gun produces less pressure, but higher velocities.  The load I am using is producing 3,200 fps in my Model 54 22 Hornet rifle, with exceptional accuracy.
