If a particular load will not work well without a filler, the powder is not suitable for those conditions of loading. This was once common practice, but it raises chamber pressure and under certain conditions contributes to chamber ringing. Nothing is more frustrating than a military rifle that shoots a foot high at 100 yards with surplus ammo when the sight is as low as it will go! Do not use inert fillers (Dacron or kapok) to take up excess empty space in the case.

Please have a red of Ed Harris's excellent work on reloading reduced loads.Ĭast bullets can make shooting that surplus rifle easy and economical.Īnd basic data works for many different guns.Ĭast bullet loads usually give a more useful zero at practical field ranges with military battle sights than do full power loads. Done safely it's fun, cheap, an very enjoying.Don't put cotton, kapok or any other sort of "filler" in your case, it's not needed. I still have all body parts an eyes but there have been a few extra heart beats along the way. The draw back is it is very easy to double charge with a fast pistol powder, so heed all the reloading safety warnings I shot over 12K of subs I loaded just this last year an have been casting an reloading from the time my Grandfather taught me when I was 10yo that was over 60 yrs ago. The market is flush with cast projo's for most every caliber the look at a fast pistol powder rather than TB. I suggest those who reload that are just getting into subsonic shooting, start looking at casting or just buying cast bullets. With the charge weights an 193 gr projo's I use, you'll get over 1K loads from a single 1 lb bottle of powder.
I quit using jacketed projo's an TB long ago, an now only use those I cast pushed by Red Dot or 700X. If the powder charge is correct each time, the speed will drop a little each shot but will level off at about 100- 150fps slower than the first shot in a barrel that had reg powder residue left behind.
Then add a jacketed bullet an the problem compounds. What your seeing is the lack of trace lube that Trail Boss is not leavening behind because it's lacking in that powder. Done wrong an it can be a life changing event!!!! Done safely it's fun, cheap, an very enjoying.
