TrailBoss and .30 100g loads...

[thepitchedlink]

Anyone try anything like this yet?...I'd like some low velocity loads for my 30/30. I've found things like 36g of 3031 with 170g bullets. I'd like to use some of these speer "plinker" 100g bullets for bonkin' grouse in the head next fall. Any ideas?

I'm using Trailboss wiht a 165gr cast bulet in 30-30. Loaded to about 850=900fps.

It's abotu as loud as a 22 short...

Ya, that 165g with 6g of trailboss is about the only load data I can find. Just really wondering can I go to 100g and 5.5g of trial boss without any problem? I guess it shouldn't cause any problems, pressure should be low...just wanted to find someone else who had done it before me
