    Hi All,

    I am new to this forum but I have some experience using Trailboss. I loaded up some 38 Sp for use in my Taurus 357 M66. I like the powder for its bulkiness. I had an issue with my Taurus just after getting it. I had shot 6 rounds then the gun blewup. The cylinder peeled itself open and the top strap blew off. Luckily Taurus has a no questions asked life time warrantee. They replaced it. The up shot is, I was very skittish shooting this gun for a long time. The Trailboss eliminates the possibility of a double charge and it generally produces a ligher load. As far as accuracy is concerned, those 38 spc at max load and a Cast SWC HP GC I had the some of the best groups at 25 yrds.

    Good Luck

    Sincerely,
    Reverend Richard

    I have the double disk option for my Lee measure.
    That enables me to stack the disks two high to obtain charges in between the standard single disk capability and also charges larger than previously available.

    I use 16 of TB behind a 300 saco rnfp, works great in my Marlin Cowboy. The other load is 14 in front of a 405 lee rnfp. This is a great load that i use out to the pigs with great success. The Turkeys are rough, and to date only 2 rams have fell to it. But its FUN...I use a smith arms lr buckhorn as well.
    I use A LOT of trailboss, its a great powder. I only buy it in the big 5lb jug since its reasonable that way.
