It depends on what gun you have??

There are the basic old light loads, medium loads and Ruger only loads.

So it all depends on what you are shooting and how heavy a load you want.

There are gobs of information-out there on these loads.

If you must use Trail Boss (It smells like Cowboy Farts) here is a reduced formula that can be used for anything.

I'm aware of the load range. I'm specifically asking about Trail Boss as I have a couple pounds of it laying around. I'm out of 45LC and need to load some, so why not us up the Trail Boss....except that when I went do so I found a lack of data. Mild is fine, but I was surprised to see very limited data from Hodgdon for a fairly popular powder and very popular cartridge. I'm shooting a 25-7 at paper. Fast powder and bunny farts loads are just fine. I'll just work off the hodgdon load ranges on line.
