Description
Hodgdon Trail Boss® is designed specifically for low-velocity lead-bullet loads suitable for Cowboy Action shooting. It is a purpose-built option for handloaders looking for a powder matched to that application.
Trail Boss is primarily a pistol powder, while also offering some application in rifles. This makes it relevant for handloaders working with appropriate low-velocity lead-bullet loads across those platforms.
Built on new technology, Trail Boss provides very high loading density and good flow through powder measures. The formulation is also stable through severe temperature variation and is designed to provide additional safety to the handloader.
Trail Boss is made in Australia and is available in 9 oz. and 2 lb. containers. Consult current Hodgdon reloading data and follow all product-label directions before use.

Trail Boss
I’ve loaded this powder for years. Not only is it great for cowboy action shooting, powder puff loads for young/recoil sensitive people, it’s also great for suppressed rifles and pistols for super quiet ammo!!

My Go To Powder for Lead
I’ve been using TrailBoss for years when I reload lead bullets. Always consistent in the results for reduced loads. I mainly use it for 44 special and 44 magnum loads with lead bullets. Standard deviation seems more consistent with a heavy crimp. Glad to see TrailBoss back on the market, after several years of not able to find it.

Delivered on time (almost)
Trail boss is one of the most rare powders ,besides 5744, it's basically an almost universal powder for anything that shoots lead. So just being able to get my hands on it is a good thing! UPS was a day late ,but that was no fault of Hodgedon. So ,Well Done!
