I loaded 5 rounds up yesterday (Saturday) with trailboos and tried them out at home first to make sure it was all going to work okay at the range.
4.5kg empty gas cylinder at 50m - my hunting load punched straight through (the control shot).
The trailboss loads only put large dints in the cylinder and made it ring - but shot about 6 inches lower than the hunting load.
Went to the range today to shoot the 50m Target for the Postal Shoot.
only took 45 rounds for the .45/70 :

will have to take many, many, many more next time.
The trailboss was very mild to shoot, so easy to shoot of the bench rest that I could sit there and do it all day long.
I tried 300gn projectiles infront of 14gn of Trailboss.
Next time I'm gunna try 405gn cast bullets infront of 12gn of Trailboss (only coz I've got a heap of em, and a mould to make many more).
Also took the .44/40 (shhhh, Win94) with some new loads using smokeless and a 240gn SWC and it shows promise too.
Targets aren't great but they're a start and to keep big medicine happy i mean, coz I know big medicine's son would like some more stamps for his collection ;D
This one started out so well.... but I don't know what happened coz when I finished I counted 6.... arghhhhhhh
You think your'e on a WINNER with 4 nice shots, then shot five decided to go for a wander on it's own :'(
Oh well, range will be open again in 2 weeks time so I'll be able to try again,
and hopefully have the thudy thudy by then to try for the 100m scoped event.
