Trailboss alternatives

[halfmoonclip]

Okay, a trip to the loading supplies shop produced 2K Federal SPPs for less than really stupid money. But no U'que.
I've another shop to check on the way down to camp, maybe next week.
As regards metering problems, having had the same issues with both the Lyman and the Dillon, I assumed the problems was simply the powder. Charlie has mostly convinced me I'm being too fussy.
Really do enjoy punkin' roller loads with big bullets, and have some interesting guns to shoot them.
Thanks, gang.

Are you anywhere near LaCrosse WS?

Might be willing to part with a bottle of Trail Boss.

Trail Boss and Unique are the only two powders that my small chamber 10X refuses to meter consistently.

Everything else is +/- .1 or better.

PapaG, I have a somewhat similar relationship with Bullseye, it's the maid of all work for most of my handgun loads (smaller cased, mind you.)
I may give U'que another try.

In our commercial loading days we bought Bullseye in 18 pound kegs. At 2.7 grains per load (38 special 148 hbwc) they went a ways.

Yeah, I got an 8lb keg some years ago, and it took a loooonnnnnggg time to go through that.

Okay, you made a sale. Local shop had 1 can of Unique on the shelf, and I bought it for $44 (!). I think a lot of things are about to go sideways, not trying to be hoarder, but really want a little stuff on hand.
