Trail boss powder
« on: November 30, 2009, 06:16:38 AM »
My Lyman book doesn't list Trail Boss powder in loads.  What is it equivilent to?  I have seen lots of people use this load.  Who makes it? and is there a listing on line of grains.  I was thinking of using it in my 44 mags and 4570's.

Just to say I use loads of it for both my 44 mag and my 45-70 and it is a wonderful powder!  The loads are low recoil, pretty slow, and some of the most accurate loads I've ever loaded!

I use that in an 1872 open top revolver in 44 special. Very nice powder to use. Between it and the Mountain Mould bullet I make it shoots one ragged hole at 20 yds. Steve
