[QUOTE="mec, post: 1522930, member: 3883"] I have two 45 Colt New Vaqueros with 4-5/8" barrels that I use for cowboy action shooting. I am using 5.8gr of [URL="http://www.imrpowder.com/trailboss.html"]IMR Trailboss[/URL] behind 200gr lead round nose bullets from [URL="http://www.missouribullet.com/"]Missouri Bullet Company[/URL]. I have chronographed this load out of the revolvers at 675fps average, it is doing right at 800fps out of my Rossi 1892 clone with 20" barrel. If you make an error and double charge the case the powder would be right below the mouth, makes it easy to prevent a dangerous situation, in addition to this the powder doesn't have the option to set up near the bullet and away from the flash hole which leads to varying velocity figures. I was using 5.5gr of Hodgdon HP-38 before switching to Trailboss and my velocity figures would vary quite a bit, have not seen this with the Trailboss load [/QUOTE]
