Trail Boss anyone?

I use Trail Boss for my 4 inch 500 S&W, 440 grain gas checks at around 800 fps are fun! Anyone else use it? If so for what?

J.B.

ive loaded some subsonic .223 and .308 with it.. quite fun. even loaded some light 38spl loads.

Where ya from in Copiah? we got a few members floating around this county.

Subsonic .223? I'd love to get the load data from you, I wouldn't mind getting my suppressed AR a little quieter, I don't guess they cycle the action? And I'm west of HH.

J.B.

our toward dentville?


You just gotta work down a load..
They wont cycle unless you load one too light and the bullet doesnt make it out of the barrel.. ask me how i know.....

Closer to Barlow.

J.B.

cool stuff, you gotta come shoot with us sometime..... anyway back on topic...

IIRC 4grs of TB with a 55gr SP was about as loud as a regular .22LR
3.5grs sounded the same but 3grs and a no go..

i loaded up some starting at 6grs i think.. ill have to go back and look..
Im using a 16" barrel, what you using?

A 20" right now.

I use TB for 45 Long Colt loads..fills case well...which is what its suppose to do

another good thing about TB is it goes a long ways!! if all i loaded was 5grs in a .223 it could get 1400 reloads with it.

I don't recall what I paid for my can but it seemed to be high cosidering it's a 9oz. can but I like it!

I grew up hunting around Barlow. Used to go to the Barlow Mall for fun, AKA dixons store

Good hunting down there, not like it was but it's alright. Did you hunt the WMA or private land?

J.B.

Private land. The club was Brandy Wine.

is trail boss the powder that looks like lil donuts???

Roger that

I wanna say i tried it in either my 44 or 45 with poor success? not 100% on that

Dock Rocker, did it look like this when you were going down there?

Dont think you tried hard enough...

JK...

I just used it for blasting ammo.. i did get a one hole group with some 68gr BTHP out of my AR at 50yds on 4.5grs i think..

In TrailBoss...Thought it came in 12 oz containers... ?

you are suppose to be able to get as many loads with a 12 oz can as you would a l lb container of the other...I did not really care...I got it to fill the longer 45 LC cases and it does that quite well
