I had a LEE set. But that was when the 500 was brand new and no others was offered.
I bought a RCBS set when they cane out. Sold then off when I sold the gun.

Got a technical question for ya CW, I know the goal of Trail Boss is to fill without compressing and I remember seeing the post from the guy who created this bullet that he made it FOR use with TB, my question is, what is a safe and smart way of determining my charge?

I’ll boot up quick load and see what I can see, I’m guessing it’s just gonna be careful eyeballing it

In a straight wall. Rule of thumb is 70%-99% Do not compress.
So take your case. Figure seat depth charge with 70%+ of that remaining space W/powder. Seat & shoot. Keep upping chg to either acceptable accuracy or velocity.
Trail boss is not a low pressure powder its a bulky low velocity powder.

How’s that saying go? Something like Lordy Lordy I wish I was 40.
Hell I’d settle for 50 in a heartbeat.

@CWLONGSHOT got another question for ya bud.......gonna grab a gas checked version of that monster 500 bullet so I can use Linotype and have a bullet I can push, since I’m powder coating and not doing traditional lube, do you think I’d be better suited getting the bullet with those shallow “ grooves” would that be more accurate bc of more of the bullet contacting or not?
