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.
