Re: Nitro solid charge for muzzleloaders.

One of the things on my very long list to get around to, is some further experimentation on the "Trail Boss" powder.

I have a .38 SAA for which I made a muzzle loading cylinder to comply with our regulations.

Using a cylinder full of Trail boss and 357 SWC heads it is so sweet and smooth to shoot and the accuracy is astounding.
I gave it to a club member who is a former Olympic pistol shot and he shot an offhand 6 shot 25 yard group which was as good as any of the .38 long barrel revolvers. About 1 1/2"

The powder was measured out of a flask so was not tightly controlled.

We were both flabergasted.

I think that it has potential in larger cartridges for low pressure applications and perhaps for true muzzle loading rifles. It bulks up the same as black.

Has anybody tried it ?

Regards
