Skeet hit the nail on the head. You can actually load a case to overflowing with trailboss and press a bullet in and you get a dud because it doesn't burn well compressed. It is what attracted me to it. Yes I have a scale, yes I have powder measures. But since trailboss isn't listed on any of the lee info for their powder measure kit, and since I can safely load it the way I am I do. I would NEVER suggest ANY other powder be loaded this way, but trailboss can.

Mike Venturino reported in GUNS magazine that even with a double charge Trail Boss won***8217;t reach proof load pressures. That may well make this the safest powder available. With most other powders, especially spherical powders, double or even triple loads will fit inside the case without spilling over.

A double load with trailboss in ANY case runs the case over badly (I mean a danged mess all over the place). Then there is the fact that with its bulk even if you could fit a double load in (and you can't) You still wouldn't be over the preassure limit for any give caliber.
Anyway IMR Trailboss rocks for what I am using it for. Love that little doughnut shaped powder.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
