In my 30-30 it only takes 12 grains of Trail Boss to fill the case. A jar of TB is only 9 grains, and that is all that will fit in the jar...


That is useful info as I like to dink and plink around with my .30-30 and cast bullets. I don't see that on the Hodgdon website or the IMR website. Do you have a link to that information?


Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
