    The CB pros use Unique or Bullseye.

    Rich retired guys use Trail Boss.

    Every rifle I’ve tried it in gave unacceptable groups. It has great accuracy at close range (25 yards) in my vaquero with 5.2 grains and a Lee 255 grain boolit.

    Been using Unique and Bullseye for 30 years. But I like to try new things. That way I'm old but still Hip.

    I'll echo some of the above statements about not matching the accuracy of my standard pistol loads with Trailboss. I have a friend who swears by Trailboss for heavy jacketed bullet subsonics in 308, specifically loading for accuracy. I still have most of thr first container I bought years and states ago. I do see myself buying more when the kids get old enough to start reloading as a safety measure / double charge check.

    Never looked at from the kid reloading angle good idea. The accuracy thing for cowboy is over rated for SASS 25 yards is there "F" class.

    I smile when Cowboy Action shooting is used as an indicator of accuracy. Anyway....

    When I tested my . 38 Spl mouse fart loads, I found that 2.7 gr of Clays with 125 gr Magma bullets was very accurate. 1” at 30 yards. So I never tried Trail Boss....or anything else for that matter.

    For accuracy and ballistic uniformity in mild target loads I've never had to look any further than Bullseye.

    I tried to use it for subsonic rifle loads but I just couldn’t get the accuracy I wanted out of it.
