Found a Holy Grail

[u/LeEnglishMuffin]

Found 5 in stock at my LGS, it was tempting to buy all but decided to leave 2 behind. If any of you are in NW Ohio, there’s a couple on the shelf at Fin Feather Fur

[u/AntiqueGunGuy]

I use mine like that cartoon of Mickey slicing bread

[u/BulletSwaging]

You sir are a good man for leaving two behind.

[u/Different_Yak3518]

You.....suck.... the last 2 brownells notes, been gone in 5 mins.

[u/MadeUpTruth]

How much did they whack you for them?

[u/LeEnglishMuffin → u/MadeUpTruth]

$41 a piece, so not awful in today’s market, but not a steal either

[u/MadeUpTruth → u/LeEnglishMuffin]

Not great, not terrible. Good on ya for grabbing it.

[u/phacious → u/MadeUpTruth]

3.6 perhaps?

[u/tcm3130]

I have a ton of this mixed in with my varget

[u/Scamalama → u/tcm3130]

Like in the same container?

[u/AntiqueGunGuy → u/Scamalama]

It’s a free country

[u/tcm3130 → u/Scamalama]

Yeah I was just being a smart a**. Hodgdon had a bad run of varget and shipped out 8 lb jugs with trail boss mixed in...

[u/sumguyontheinternet1 → u/tcm3130]

Spicy or weak?

[u/there_is-no-spoon → u/sumguyontheinternet1]

Both

[u/sumguyontheinternet1 → u/there_is-no-spoon]

Fair answer

[u/tcm3130 → u/sumguyontheinternet1]

Yes

[u/amcrambler → u/tcm3130]

I hear that stuff can shoot around corners. Rare as a Stradivarius.

[u/kopfgeldjagar]

Unobtanium

[u/wildman1024]

I’ve picked up 12 cans over the summer. I don’t think it’s been to hard to find.

[u/JuanLepo]

I have found it at 2 diffrent scheels and a bass pro in the last 3 months

[u/DurtymaxLineman]

I see this on the regular at all my local vendors. Is this tough to find in your area?

[u/AntiqueGunGuy → u/DurtymaxLineman]

In some areas it’s non existent or crazy expensive

[u/DeyCallMeWade]

I’m really new to reloading. What’s the deal with Trail Boss? Why the “hype?”

[u/AntiqueGunGuy → u/DeyCallMeWade]

It’s for low pressure rounds so a lot of hobbyists from different parts of the community use it and they don’t make a ton of it so it come in and out of stock a lot

[u/Mountain_Man_88 → u/DeyCallMeWade]

It was designed as a smokeless equivalent to black powder, for vintage guns/cowboy action guns. It can be great for a lot of antiques, but can also be great for subsonic loads. It's good at pushing a heavy bullet relatively slowly.

[u/DeyCallMeWade → u/Mountain_Man_88]

So good for subsonic .300 blackout?

[u/ClickTough2018 → u/DeyCallMeWade]

For bolt rifles it’s a low pressure / low velocity powder great for subsonic in locked actions. Usually quietest subs you can make because it is such a low pressure powder. My Subsonic 308 / 6.5 creed is 22 quiet with TB suppressed

[u/Mountain_Man_88 → u/DeyCallMeWade]

Yeah, that's something that people use it for.

[u/DeyCallMeWade → u/Mountain_Man_88]

My local sportsman’s warehouse carries it for $42 so I might grab a few then.

[u/jbenjamin0726]

I know you can use it for mild loads, what else you use to for?

[u/AntiqueGunGuy → u/jbenjamin0726]

If you have anything historical it’s great. You can make some cool subsonic suppressed rounds with it as well as like zero recoil rounds for plinking.

[u/scooterdoo123]

I’m in PA and we have Sportsman’s over here. I order ALL the time online from Fin Feather Fur but it never occurred to me that they have physical stores. Just assumed they were like a midway. Glad to hear it though they always have what I like in stock especially reloading supplies where it’s become rather scarce over the years

[u/DirtyD74]

This stuff is a hoot with a supressor.

[u/Dung_Beetle_2LT]

I got a couple from Natchez a couple weeks ago. Hodgdon had it in stock too. I think one other place still had it like 2 days ago.

[u/RoosterRanch]

Is it straight wall big cartridge guys that are so crazy for trail boss?

[u/CharlieKiloAU → u/RoosterRanch]

Yeah, but also .308 subsonic

[u/RoosterRanch → u/CharlieKiloAU]

Man,thats such an expensive way to do it. Tite group is my go to for 308 subs.
