Have some Trailboss and I want to try it in .358 Winchester

[Ole]

In .35 caliber, I have:

100 gr RD bullet
125 gr RF Lee bullet
158 gr SWC TL Lee bullet
158 gr RF Lee bullet
175 gr RD bullet
190 gr RD bullet

Which one would you start with? 70% of a full case with bullet seated rule still applies?

Looking for a 50 yard pop-can-hunting load. Not a requirement, but i'd like it to hit as close to normal point of aim as a regular load (wishful thinking here).

Yes 70% of depth of seated bullet,Ive tryed it in a couple differant calibers and was'nt real impressed But will try some others yet,some people say there getting good results ,I just loaded some more will try again.

70% is as good a place to start. As long as the powder is not compressed you can't build enough pressure to damage your gun.

BUT, like dave22250 said I have not been impressed with this powder except for it's intended use.

A 95% of full case load (95% is when you can just barely hear the powder move inside the case after the boolit is seated) should give you an MV of 60% of the MV of a factory load of the same size bullet. In my 338wm a 70% charge wouldn't even begin to stabilize the boolit at 40 yards. I would start with a boolit similar in size to your favorite factory bullet.
