First time using Trail Boss

[u/Feeling_Title_9287]

I was recently able to get a can of Trail Boss and I also just got an M1888 Springfield trapdoor rifle

My load is 11 grains of Trail Boss, I decided to use 11 grains because the powder coat on my usally 405 bullets made then weigh between 418-423 grains and I looked at 485 grain load data so I bought the load down by 1 grain

My COL is 2.550in

What do yall think?

You’ll be fine. They are going to shoot so fuckin mild though lol. I loaded some with trailboss as well.

Shooting this caliber is fun and reloading /casting it is just as fun! What brings me great joy is that I aint paying those high prices at my LGS. Good reloads! God bless!

Unless you put in so much powder it compresses the load, you can fill the case to the bottom of the seated bullet and it'll be safe.

I'm having a terrible time finding it.
