Trailboss for 148gr wadcutters in .38Spl

Post by Spencer »

Given that has been a while since Trailboss powder has been discussed, has anyone used this powder in .38Spl for 148gr wadcutter loads?

If so, what powder charges used and velocities do you get?

The manufacturer's site seems to be directed solely to single action loads.
