There was another thread on the 2022 forecast for some of the powders coming out of Australia, TrailBoss was not likely to be produced in 2022.

EDIT: Rereading the thread, the article said 'not likely produced in 2021' which we are, obviously, almost at the end of. Given the current state of Australia right now, I wouldn't count on a whole lot coming from there, right now, and likely into 2022. Just my observation.

Gee...not good news. I really did not want to try loading Clays with plated or coated bullets but I guess now I will. I hate to give up my wimpy loads all together. I just did not see this one coming so I am out of Trail Boss. I keep Clays for shotgun loading.

Hadn't heard about the 21 zero production forecast.

I am down to 21 canisters, I load it in nearly every caliber I load. Hope, I can ride out the drought.

There are a lot of other fast powders for wimpy loads maybe not the case fill but still other options.
Never saw a reason to use it plus it smells funny, I still have a 1/2 lb left from long ago,

Bulls Eye,if I'm not mistaken is really close to TB burn wise,it just doesn't fill the case the same. I use it interchangeably with TB for light loads....Just be careful you don't double charge.

Depending on what you are loading, Unique may be a possible alternate powder. I've made some nice plinking rifle rounds with both Trail Boss and Unique.
