Somebody posted a while back about questioning the data Hodgdon has on there site about IMR Trail-Boss and Loads they have listed.
Hodgdon has a pdf file with information ,some mentioned below, in it found on there website under Data- "Trail Boss Reduced Loads". Can't get the direct link it to come up.

I reviewd that data and there notes on it ,while thinking about trying some for some cast bullets. They note that it can be used in rifle cartridges with either cast or jacketed bullets and gave a method of finding out the charge range for your cal and bullet if not listed in there data.
So check there web sit for the how too as I don't feel up to typeing it all here. ;)

Picked up a can saturaday and played around with it in a 8x57mm trying that infromation on there web site.IT avg 16gr to the bottom of the neck which is close to seating depth.
I came up with 11-16grs for some Hornady 150gr Sp for mine with Rem Cases. Loaded up 8 of them with some pulled bullets I had at 15 grs.
Full case weighed in at 17.6 gr
Finshed rounds [Note & Tip to you newbies notice the sharpie and writing on the cases,it is a good way to keep up with test loads on top of other load notes and will wipe off with a little case lube on the next loading]
