7.5X54 and trail boss
oldFYI
Yesterday I was using my MAS 7.5 and a variety of gas checked bullets driven by 14 grains of trail boss. The primers WLR, the cases Graf. the bullets were 155, 165, 179, and 210 grain bullets.
[LIST]dirty
very light kick
no pressure problems
witnessed ,visually as the bullets hit or missed the targets on the berm at 100 and 200 yds.
Did not use Oehler as the gas checks tend to leave the bullets and have hit the chrono.
At 200 yds. the point of aim was a good 5 feet over the metal animals.
It was still a fun day

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

That does sound like a fun day. You got to practice your "Kentucky" windage. Big Grin
I am shure you know it but as a repeat Trail Boss doesn't like to be compressed.

oldThanks for the heads up on compression. These were not compressed. 14 grains filled it to the body shoulder junction.
