The question is irrelevant, i.e., it has no application to the reloading of ammunition process as practiced by well informed practitioners.

If you are attempting to make a comparison of some sort, please rephrase your question to solicit the specific information you are seeking.

I want to load trailboss into my black powder cartridges, what I need to know is how much trail boss to use to get a comparative load to black powder? Thanks for your answer Hank

I would respectfully disagree with your conclusions for the following reasons. 

1) Every inquiry presented does not warrant a response, simply because the question is asked.

2) Wanting to appear knowledgeable to the readership should never be the sole ground for responding to an inquiry that is presented.

3)  Wanting to increase one's posting count should never be the sole ground for responding to an inquiry that is presented.

4)  Sometimes the response to an inquiry is best couched by an admission that "one does not know the information sought."

5)  Sometimes the response to an inquiry is best referred to a more learned or higher authority.

6)  Sometime the response to an inquiry has to include an admonition for the benefit and/or safety of the inquirer and others who may apply the information provided to their determent.

7)  Sometimes the response to an inquiry has to be a respectful decline to provide a response without a reason given, should the responder   determines that the reason will serve no value or purpose to the inquirer.

8)  Sometime a parent has to say to little Johnny, "NO, you must not do that" because little Johnny doesn't have the maturity to know that what he wants to do present a clear and present danger to his safety and well being.

I wonder what the actual pressure is for that load.  Hodgdon's shows 26500 CUP for 13 grains under a 405gr bullet.  That gives just over 1000fps.

Hank I have played with Trail Boss in the .45-70.  Mostly plinking, but I did try to work up accurate loads for a Ruger #1.   At 100m I was able to shoot 5 shot groups at 1.5 moa IIRC,  but by 200m, vertical dispersion was shockingly bad.   

It might work better in the smaller cartridges though.  If you decide to mess with it, I'd be interested in hearing your results.

Chris.

I never said they were the norm. I said they were not uncommon. Take a look at Hodgon's load data for the 308 Wichester and you will find more than a few compressed loads.
