What is your platform?

Hodgdons load site does... Reloading manuals do.

Both of those bullets have cannelure so there is your OAL.

Do you have a manual? If you don't, you need one. IMR4227 is one of the 'standard' .44 Mag powders.

Yes I do , but ......it only lists Flat nose projectiles . I can find nothing on Hodgedons site either for 265 grain bullets with IMR 4227 or Lil Gun .

Just use the same or closest bullet weight and work up a load.
