Trail Boss

[dave 45-90]

Any of you have problems with bridging and static electricity using Trail Boss
The stuff flies around on its own and winds up in the rotary shell plate
Thought about dryer sheets, but I thought I would ask the experts
Almost need a vibrator to stop bridging in the drop tube
Other powders do fine

wow... you may be right...... I have it gathering in my rotary shell plate but thought I was just sloppy. I'll try to keep a watch on that now instead of just jacking it around... Thanks

Meters like water in the Dillon powder measure.

Runs fine in my RCBS, but I keep a dryer sheet in it when empty.

I had the same problem. Loading on a dillon 550, Duke in fl. Told me to use larger powder bar and fixed the problem.

I have one of the new Lee Auto Drum measures on my turret press....I wipe everything down with a dryer sheet (used) before every use and while I figured I'd have a mess with T/B it was clean as a whistle...I've loaded 231, T/B, Unique, Universal with it and it all is fine...it's been fairly dry here as well so I think it works fine.

Thanks guys. Dillon 550..I will experiment a little. The powder bar change may be the answer

I use TB in my 38-55 loads on the Dillon 550 - guess because I'm dropping a full 10 grains I have the large powder bar in place, so never noticed the problem. Good thing to know if I use if for smaller charges though...

Here's a link I saw it few years back.

I went to dipping TB. Might try these fixes.

Yes, to get more than 6 grains of Trailboss to drop in the Dillon you must use the rifle charge bar, figured that out trying to get a stout charge for the 45 Colt, it will drop up to at least 15 grains, that's the charge weight I run in the 45-70
