Anybody using Trail Boss in 38 S&W loads? I can't find any load data for it.

You do not need printed load data for Trail Boss in any caliber,

The top of this PDF doc, explains how to determine the correct load for any caliber or bullet you are using. One major advantage for the Trail Boss powder.

Just do not compress the powder.

As long as you don't compress the load you can't get enough Trail Boss in any case to cause overpressure problems.

Like already said, DO NOT compress the load or break up the little "donuts" because that will cause pressure spikes. (dangerous spikes)

If you (OP) Google 38 SW Trail Boss, there are lots of threads on other forums which I can not post.
