Titegroup provides excellent ballistics with lead bullets but a bit too much smoke for my taste. I have recently switched to Trail Boss for all my lead bullet revolver loads. A real plus of Trail Boss that it is so bulky that you virtually cannot get a double charge. In contrast Titegroup is very dense and one can get multiple charges in those old straight sided black powder cartridges like 38 Special, 44 Special and 45 Colt.
