Trailboss in 9mm or 45

[gewehr76]

Hi reloaders

Any body tried to use Trailboss Hodghdon powder in 9mm or 45acp with DRG led bullets?
What was the result? I could not find any load data for this combo.

Thanks for input,

Trailboss is a very bulky powder that might fill up too much space before you get enough grains in the case, with these small cases. It is meant for larger cases, which it fills, with no chance of a double charge, which is one of it's best features, no double charges!

Hi. Load for the bullet weight. Who made it doesn't matter.
There is Trail Boss 200 and 230 grain cast bullet data for .45 ACP on Hodgdon's site. Nothing for the 9mm though. Like Ben says, it's likely too bulky for the smaller case.
"...led bullets..." Bullets don't normally have Light Emitting Diodes.

I use TB in one of my 45s for an Intro To Shooting course 4.7g under a 200g cast bullet shoots great light recoil and no problems with FTF or FTEs. This is in a norc commander

Thanks for pointers everybody.

Yes if bullets had led's, it would be fun to see them fly. However they would be much more expensive.
