I was going to buy some TB, but the small container for the price put me off too.
But another way to think about it is --
4.2 gr / load of TB = 900 loads per 9 oz.
11.4 gr / load of 2400 = 600 loads per 16 oz.
(The first load is from USMC586;
The second is the lightest load Lyman gives for the .357 Mag w/ 2400 and a 158 gr lead bullet).
I expect you can find a powder that comes in 16 oz containers that will beat TB on cost per load, but it would not be by much. My point here is that cost per load has to count for something. Just thinking out loud.
