    Why do people love Trail Boss?

     

    Well...

    You can use Trail Boss for everything cowboy related from .32 S&W to .45-70.  That's part of what makes it so popular.

    Also, even with max loads, the recoil is exceptionally mild.  That's also part of what makes it so popular.

    But most of all, with Trail Boss, it is impossible to do this...

    It obviously IS possible with Win231/HP38.   No one to blame but my own stupidity, but Trail Boss is essentially idiot proof.   Since proving that I can be an idiot, I have come to appreciate the powder even more.
     

    I only load 3.2 grs of TiteGroup group in my .38’s BUT my revolvers are .357 so if I double charge that’s 6.4 grs which is a hefty load but safe in a .357. Max is 7.5

    All are losses to our game that I lament.  COWBOY shooting of the era involved guns capable of knocking down horses, dispatching cattle and some game for the pot.  GJ

    Our sport is losing people so allowing .22’s is allowing new people to get involved. I’m all for it. .22’s have been around since the 1845l

    Who are your "Northern neighbors"?

     

    We - the US - are Mexico's Northern neighbors, but aren't we your Southern neighbors?

     

    Or are you speaking of Alaska only? :P

    I was thinking the same thing! Shouldn’t it be their Southern neighbors?

    Cold weather, 44 mags, 45 Colt? Crono your loads and see it? Big swings. 

    I don’t have a chronograph and don’t want one! My loads are fine in cold or hot weather. 🙄

    I liked it in my 44 and 45 cases. Filled them up nicely. TiteGroup does not. Unique workers well buy I save that for Kayas shotgun loads. 244 works well in 38 and I made a nice 12 gauge load with it as well. Not acceptable for my big cases though.

    Yea but smokeless doesn’t need to fill the cases! I’ve never had a problem with TiteGroup or Clays or HP38.

    Guys like Alonso and Ramirez stand to lose a ton of money in incentives if they were to get injured while not playing for their respective teams. I don't blame them at all for sitting out the All Star game.

    Exactly!! 👍🏻

  7. The All Star 3rd baseman Jose Ramirez (from my beloved Cleveland Indians, er, uh, Guardians) has stepped out of the game because of some minor injuries he’s had and wants to stay healthy for the regular season. I respect his decision even though I would have liked to see him in the game. He’s a great player. When it comes down to it though I never got all that excited about the All Star game.
