Jim,
Would you share the Trail Boss data? Is it with pistol primers, Berdan or 209? Harry |

Harry,
I failed to mention that my only loads for Trail Boss are 16 gauge. Sorry if thats a problem. |

Jim,
That is great info. I am shooting my Uncle Bill's VH 16 almost exclusively. All my brass is 12 & 20 gauge with Berdan or pistol primer pockets. I had to retire the 10 gauge brass as it was too small and had swelled to the point of rupture. I am going to weigh a charge of Trail Boss and see if it has a Dram equivalent. Thanks again, Harry |

Trail Boss to Dram
21.6=2 1/2 24.0=2 3/4 26.7=3 I am not going to go out on a limb, however this is close to being a bulk powder. Harry |

Harry, I seem to remember Tom mentioning a similarity to bulk powder and the stuff dips consistently.
