Alternatives to Trailboss for .45/70

#1 Post by pbrazendale »

Hi,

I am currently having great results with a 405gr lead boolit and 13grains of Trailboss, for indoor gallery use at 25/50 yards accuracy is also great.

Now with Trailboss shortly being banned, what alternatives do I have that will give equal velocity and accuracy?

By the way this is being shot from a Henry all weather in .45/70.

Thanks in advance

Viht N32C Tin Star if you like the fluffy powders, a smidgen slower than Trail Boss but not the rip off price.
