I've just started using TB in my 1892 Winchester in .25-20, not a lot of experiece with it yet, just loaded 50 rounds! What would you like to know?

How accurate?

I've used it quite a bit.

I find that 3.4 grains, which is the 0.76 cavity on the Lee Pro Auto Disk measure, produces 1080 fps with the RCBS 85 FN, which is just subsonic, and this produces best results in my 1-10 twist barrel.

This is up to the start of the shoulder in the case. Using other 70 to 85 grain bullets, velocities are in the 1050 to 1120 fps range, which is ideal for plinking or 60 yard small game hunting which is within the limits of its trajectory. Zeroed at fifty yards.

Will average under 1 inch for 5 shots at fifty yards with various bullets in my gun.
