Neuse Rivers Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I searched around google and I can't find any published min/max loads. Closest I came on the Hodgdon site was: "Find where the base of the bullet to be loaded is located in the case and make a mark on the outside of the case at this location. Then fill the case to that mark with Trail Boss, pour into the scale pan and weigh. This is your maximum load. Pressures will be below the maximum allowed for this cartridge and perfectly safe to use! Take 70% of this powder charge weight (multiply the maximum load from step 1 by .7), and that is your starting load. Start with this beginning load and work up to your maximum charge, all the while searching for the most accurate reduced load. Once found, the fun begins" But, when doing a search here on the Wire, several folks talk about loads referencing the load data. But, I can't find it! Can someone please let this lost soul know the web address for such data?? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never have found this. Appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Crimes Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 You can also use the ADI data as it is the same powder. Go to the single action data portion. http://www.adi-powders.com.au/handloaders/warning.asp?ref=%2Fhandloaders%2Frifle.asp 130117_Handloaders_guide_6th_edition_WEB.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Use the formula from IMR. It shows you how to work up a TrailBoss load for ANY cartridge and bullet combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboy Junky Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Just don't load down TB.....it gets really dirty. Stick to the CB load charts for sure.....and IMO stay off the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From IMR's own mouth they tell you how to determine the correct load for ANY cartridge. Filling the case to bullet seating depth for the maximum load then taking 70% for a minimum load, it doesn't get any simpler OR better than this. I've used this method for my 44-40, 45Colt and 357 cartridges for two years now and have covered the range from mild to about as much as you want to handle!

Saddle Up Slim Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 Thank you Neuse for this post and to all who responded. I just ordered some Trail Boss as I am starting to acquire the items necessary to start reloading. This information is great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
