Adam B Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Has anyone tried IMR Trailboss for .40 major? It is just a few up the burn chart from N320 and I like that it really fills the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mwx40x40 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 I doubt you can get enough TB in a 40 case to make Major, but I have not tried it. mws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harmon Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 maybe with a precision bullet loaded LONG but even still, i dont think you can get enough in the case. harmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Bell Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I doubt you can get enough TB in a 40 case to make Major, but I have not tried it.mws I use Trail Boss for reduced load .44 magnums and I agree with others. I doubt you can get enough in the case to make major. My .44 special loads in .44 magnum cases darned near fill the case, which is why I use Trail Boss. It's not certain to be true for other calibers, but I could not load enough in a magnum case to make magnum velocities if I had to. Also note that Trail Boss is designed for cast lead bullets. Jacketed bullets have more friction when passing through the barrel and will change velocities and pressures noticably. In my revolvers, they result in velocities substantially below published data for the same weight lead round and, with light .357 rounds, occasionally failed to get the bullet out of the barrel. Be careful. It worked great for heavier jacketed bullets in both .44 and .357. Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPatterson Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I found this with a search Trail Boss .45 Acp Test I tried the same load 4.4 gr load through a Schuemann barrel, a Springfield & a Para and they were all below 700 FPS with a 225 gr MasterBlaster.
