I shoot a lot of Single Shot Rifles. New shooters always ask "why not Trail Boss" Fact is it never works well if accuracy is the objective. It's formulated to fill big cases, avoiding double charges, and produce light recoiling low velocity loads. Perfect for Cowboy action, not useful for much else in the Rifle world. Very inconsistent velocities shot to shot. Most consider it very expensive too.

Bottle that's the same size as other pound packages won't hold a pound of Trail Boss due to its bulk, not a big issue they are looking for bulk to prevent double charges anyhow. 4759 was packaged the same way. 12 oz in a pound can, too bulky to get 16 oz. in the package. 4759 was labeled "12 oz"

It's possible Trail Boss would work well in large shotgun hulls. Make the right stack height easier to obtain. But have never used it and can't say what kind of pressure it produces in shotgun shells.
