Trail Boss

[Buffalo Creek Law Dog]

Rowdy and Grizz:

Okay, I went and got a can of this Trail Boss to try in my 45-75 this morning.  The stuff only comes in 9 ounce batches but not too spendy.  Spent 13 bucks for the can.  Now,  I will be using my Hoch 350 grain bullets and both redone 348 cases and 50 AK cases.  So, where should I start out at?

A friend and I bought Trail Boss in a 2 lb container the other day.  It came in a plastic bag in the manufacturer's cardboard box.  Kind of like buying wine in the box.

11.5 to 15.5 for the 45-75 . I have only loaded 45-60 and I have had good luck with this powder .
What range are you wanting your velocities ? This will get you close  to black powder velocities I am totally guessing now .
But you will be in the 1100 fps to about 1200 fps . On page 2 Larryo_1 has posted information about loading 45-75 .
But before you load anything go to Hodgdon's/ IMR web site and read there information , we want be safe and have FUN .
Let us know how it worked for you .

I loaded and shot some TB loads a couple days ago, 14.5 gr behind a 350gr bullet in Bertram cases and it did very well, I grouped 2.5 in at 100 yards but was a little low and to the left, so am going to have to play with my sights to see if thats the issue.  Otherwise, I feel good about that load!

Yesterday, I shot 10 rounds of TB/15.5/350Hoch at 50 yards to see what it would do.  I got 'em all in the 8 & 9 ring but had the same thing happen to me in that they shot to the left and I know that it is not the sights as with my other loads they are on que.  I do like what I shot and will see what happens at 100 yards next.  If the same thing happens with the first 5 shots then methinks that a tad bit of good ol' Kentucky windage will solve the problem.
