:confused: Has anyone tried trail boss powder in a dillon 550b? I'm in a small town and wondering if it would be worth going a hundred miles or so to pick up a can and start using it. I shoot 38 in vaqueros or '72 open tops. I'm wondering if it stays consistent from the thrower and if you have to use a bigger charge bar for the little cheerios. Let me know if you've tried it.:D

I loaded some TB in .44-40 on a D550 with the rifle charge bar. Metered ok. I don't know about the lighter loads for a .38.

I'd have UPS deliver it and save the drive. :)

I've used it quite a bit in a dillon . ...45LC, .50 S&W and .45/70. I was REALLY paranoid about it not measuring well and weighed an awful lot of charges . ..was always right on. I was always using it with the big powder bar though.

Have a good one,
Dave

Thanks, I guess I'll just have to give a try cause I've heard great things about the TB powder. The next time we go to town I'll pick some up.

I use it for 38 in a SDB. I have to use the magnum charge bar and it works just fine.

I use it for very light loads in 44 russian. It measures 1.5 grains consistently in the dillon measure with the x-small powder bar.

I have loaded it, about 4,000 rounds between .44 magnum, .45acp, .38spl,.357 mag, on my Dillon 550. When you get up over 6.6 grains you need to use the rifle charge slide, 6.6 is the most the pistol slide will consistantly drop.

Its very consistent metering at 6.5 down to 4.0 grains.
