Trailboss is quiet!

Snipercatcher, I flattened a foked horn Blacktail buck with the 90 gr XTP at about 35 yds the Bullet worked great. DRT kill one round in the bioler room. the load was 9.8 gr Trailboss and a cci 300 ....from my Boltgun it is way quite through my can its sounds like an airgun...

correction the load is 4.8 gr of trailboss

FYI, since you said you didn't have a chrony 4.8 gr trailboss, 90 gr xtp run 945 – 1040 fps out of my 16 inch bolt gun at 90 degrees & 900 ft above sea level.

They were running close to that out of my 10" barrel also. This load does not need much barrel to work, as it is basically an inefficient 380 auto in 30 caliber.

When I get my new barrel in I'll probably experiment with these some more. I'm glad to hear you've had luck with the Trailboss load.

Thanks for the info....I as hoping for something close to that vel. I know I was out in the orchard last evening and shooting some pears I had placed on a fence rail at about 50 yds. The sound of the THWACK when the pear explodes was louder than the discharge of the weapon.
I am at 300' elevation and it was rainy and 45 degrees!
