I have not really messed much with Trail Boss powder. I was looking through my inventory, and discovered that I had quite a bit of it, and not so much of some of my other favorites like Unique, and 2400, 4227 and others that I like in reduced loads.
So the question is how consistent is this stuff? Does any one have experience shooting over a chronograph?
I load for 3006, 8mm x 57, and 7.5 Swiss, and since other powders are in short supply, and I have a lot of Trail Boss, that it might be a good choice.
I dont shoot my cast as hard as some do, and like shot gun / pistol powders, as I get more shots per pound.
I usually load around the place that Ed Harris' article suggested. 12- 13 grs of Unique, or Red or Green dot, or 16 - 18 grs of 2400.
I am wondering if Trail Boos will get good accuracy in the 11- 13 grain range. Also, since I dont have a chronograph, I was hoping to get some feed back on how consistent Trail Boss is?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
