    Medium Bore 375 ruger- so far 5744 for 1800 fps, IMR Green and Unique for 1200 fps.

    Finally found a use for Trail Boss after 10 years of trying. 308 Winchester, 10 Grains Trail Boss, 168 grains Nosler Custom Competition. Sub MOA.

    I am gravitating to AANitro100 NF, for reduced loads especially using lighter Boolits. Alliant/Hercules Powder is Not readily available around here anymore, and if Found, or Ordered, the Price is getting almost as Bad as Trail Boss!
    Note that Nitro-100NF is quite bulky, tho Not quite Trail Boss...it still does Not fit a Pound of Powder into a regular Pound Can..so, be aware. But last I got, the Price was Right! It does reduce the chance of a Double Charge...But, Still not as Likely as either Bullseye or Red Dot, to double charge! Since I visually inspect in the loading Block..I have Not had any problems, that were Not Identified!!!
    Shame about the Unavailable status, and Price on Trail Boss...tho I have Never preferred it...Much preferring Red Dot/Promo, which is as rare around these parts.
