anyone ever try loading brass hulls with Trailboss ???

& how about annealing the mouth & roll crimping an over shot card ???

I've heard the cases are quite hard & split easily, so annealing might not be a bad idea anyways ???

also have heard of people having trouble using the balloon head cases with smokeless powders... not sure if Trailboss would be better than those "other powders" tried ???

thought the case head could possibly even be filled with lead or epoxy or ??? if the open head design didn't work well with smokeless ???
