? Looks like it would be ideal.
I have HEARD that this is the " go to " from a close friend who is running 2 7.62 cans. No first hand reports of rounds down range, as it takes him awhile to do stuff but when he does there are no mistakes, nothing is half assed.

I use it all the time.
I also use it for my subs. No issues at all.
Do you guys care to share your loads?
175 SMK
Lapua brass
CCI 200 primer
10gr Trailboss
Good for 3/4 moa at 100yds, 2moa at 300yds.
Excellent. How full is the case with 10gr?
Mine is pretty much the same as Orkan’s…
10.5 gr Trailboss
180gr Hornady RN
Winchester Brass
CCI 200 Primer
I went with the 180gr RN b/c it stabilizes out of a 1/12 because of the shorter projectile length. I will probably move up to something heavier once I get around to blueprinting and rebarreling my 700… its almost time.
Case fills up nicely because of the bulkiness… I cant remember exactly though… I haven’t had to load them in a while.
what length and twist rate are you using?
ive been trying to find mmore info on this as well to work a load up for my 20" 1:10twist barrel.
1:10 twist in a krieger 18" tube. Bisley chamber.
My advice is start with 11gr and work DOWN until you hit subsonic. Then paper test, then shoot through a can.
Our resident BLOW HARD in the yellow visor says quoting “MOA” at specific distances is like nails on a chalkboard. :rolleyes:
I have also heard of people using red dot.
ive also heard of Unique being used which is what i use for multiple pistol calibers as well as shotgun but most seem to have better luck with the TB. fills the case a bit better than unique as well, or so ive read.
How the hell else are you suppose to provide a realistic account of accuracy? Just because a rifle shoots moa at 100yds, does not mean it will with given loads at distance. This is VERY common with subsonic loadings that are right at the very edge of being stabilized upon exit from the muzzle.
I’d start closer to 12gr and work down. Barrel length is a key factor here folks. Longer barrels = more friction. There is no hardened rule when it comes to subs, but I can tell you that a shorter barrel is better than longer.
This is a 20" 1:10 Remington, the AAC-SD model.
Interesting - I went to order some Trailboss today and found that it is sold in 9 ounce cans - the same size as the traditional 1 pound can.
I order it in the 4lb kegs… and they are bigger than the 8lb kegs you typically find.
It is a very fluffy powder… hence why it takes up so much room and is good for sub loads. ![]()
Wow and here I thought Trailboss was only for wheelgun loads… My FIL makes some pretty light 44 Mags out of that stuff.
Picked up the small container of this today. Going to try some subs on Saturday.
If you don’t have a suppressor… they aren’t nearly as cool. ![]()
