I personally don't like very small charges with alot of empty case capacity... I've been doing alot of "pop gun" loads using Trailboss... I'm not sure about using it in a semi... but of the 3-4 cartridges I'm loadng with it right now, none of my cartridge loadings are excessive even with the case clear full ( never compress load Trailboss )... I have some light loads in 32 S&W ( 0.7 grains of powder & a lead round ball ) that easily & consistantly shoot sub 2" groups at between 20 & 30 ft... these loads litterally have no recoil, & are as loud as the old time kids cap guns... Trailboss is extremely bulky, & a reasonably fast burning powder... & works great for reduced loads
