Terry Wieland did an entire article on this stuff a few years back in either Handloader or Rifle. Can't recall which or when, but if you have access to the issues with the index, you can find it. Unlike my frugal pal here (who shall remain nameless), I think Trail Boss is fine stuff, even if it costs a pinch more.

I wouldn't push those pistol bullets too fast, especially holler points. There's a thread right now in the ML forum about them going to pieces when used with heavy charges. Might try lead, or XPBs if available, or go as heavy as possible with jacketed.

Excellent idea, btw, no sense letting a nice rifle go idle just because there aren't any tigers handy.
