Anyone use the new Trail Boss powder in rifles? I know it can be used for pistol caliber rifles, but am curious to know if anyone has used it in any of the smaller calibers, say 25-20, 32-20, 30 Rem, etc.? Emery

    I have loaded it in 44-40. I have been shooting them in my S&W No3 Frontier. I have a Rossi 44-40 rifle, but I haven't shot them in it yet. It works well in my pistol. I am loading light loads of 5.1 gr with a 200 gr lead bullet. I have several 32-20 rifles and a pistol that I will probably load some Trail Boss when I get around to it.

    I have used it in my 45-70, 30-30, 45 Colt & 38 Spl. It works fine in all of the calibers that I have tried it in. I have to use a dacron filler in the 45-70 or the groups are terrible and the bullets keyhole.

    Thank you all for your input. Are there loading tables out yet for the rifle calibers? Emery
