Been feeding .45 Colt with Trailboss for some time, at modest velocities, and am entirely satisfied. Problem being, there seems to be no new Trailboss.
I've been thinking of trying some of the blackpowder alternatives, and have some questions.
-Are there any substitutes that are not corrosive (that is to say, hydroscopic), avoiding immediate cleanup after shooting?
-Are there any BP substitutes that can be used in a Dillon powder dispenser?
On this last, I've loaded actual BP, but used a funnel and powder dipper (made from a .45 ACP case). It worked, but was slow slogging. Those BP loads are still sitting in the locker.
So, what I want is the entertainment of shooting black powder, but with the convenience of loading/shooting smokeless?
It seems there should be a market for such.
Just thinking out loud here.
Ideas?
