Wink trail boss report

alright Ive got 5 lbs. of trail boss powder.
this stuff meters really well.
it looks like tiny donuts and i thought it would act up in my thrower but nope!
it does hangup in my funnel but that may be just static which i can take care of with a dryer sheet.
a double charge wont overflow a case but it would be very obvious at a glance.
(Ive already done it...)
i did some max loads for my henry 5.8 gr. @727 f.p.s. 12.700 psi

Hey all, I had that problem with the powder staying in the funnel to. After spilling it a few times , I found that letting the powder hit the inside side of the funnel it didn't happen as much. Kinda let it spiral in. Just my 2 cents. Good luck, Bob
