[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 1188080, member: 69773"] Hi, thanks for the feedback. You asked about my goals, I am hoping that someone can run some quickload simulations and see if it kicks out any suggestions using relatively easy to obtain powder with reasonable powder fill and burn %. Obviously, that is a starting point for further research and work. I live in CA, so more and more areas require no-lead content bullets. I am not going to be loading up millions of rounds, and have limited ability to store lots of variations, so it makes sense to use one common bullet for all use - in spite of the cost. Trail Boss is an interesting alternative, and I am considering it. When I look at the rifle rounds loaded with it in re-loading charts, nearly all of them run 1300 fps, which is a little slower than the goal of 2000 ish. As a practical matter, it is very hard to obtain, and I have been looking for a while. I am open to being wrong on this, but I am not completely sure that a faster powder is the solution to reduced recoil. As I understand it, the shape and low density of trail boss flakes plays a large roll in how trail boss works. Nyaiti Inc loads various big bore loads, some at 2000, some at 1300 fps. It isn't entirely clear to me if they are really using fully filled cartridges, or just putting in less powder. In either case, while I appreciate their business model and what they are doing, $7 / round adds up. As far as dangerous game, the targeted application is wild boar. They are dangerous, but not charging rhinos dangerous, and we will be backing each other up with various types of guns. As I mentioned, most of the use will be on fun / paper targets, and with a re-built shoulder, recoil during target practice matters. [/QUOTE]
