Or, get one of these:

The dies, a small powder scale, a couple cans of trail boss, calipers, etc... and have a way to reload for it anywhere. All the stuff would fit in a small toolbox and is easy to move while you are still nomadic.

Good luck finding any Trail Boss.

It was discontinued for a while. Hodgdon's listing it again on their website, but a whole bunch of CAS shooters will be trying to get restocked for a while.

I saw someone selling an unopened can on the local Texas Gun Trader board for something like $60. LOL, no.

I have seen it on a shelf lately, so my hope is it's coming back.... It's my favorite powder at this point

The selected product combination is currently unavailable.

Both...

Ha! Saw that earlier and sent it to him. He had some excuse about being responsible, blah blah blah.

LOL

Nope, apparently you're not the only person wanting one

As of 12:50PM CDT it's back in stock. I added one to my cart, just to make sure

Imagine Trail Boss in the .30-30 with a can.....

Good looking out Paul. If I hadn't just had to pay quite a bit to remove some dying trees from my house before they collapsed on the neighbors in the next windstorm, I would probably have clicked order by now.

I've got your back

Having large trees removed is no small endeavor. For two Oak trees I've been quoted over 4 grand. Takes away from fun fund for sure.

Could be worse. I had one go down in a storm a few months ago that would've cost well into the 5 figures without insurance. Fortunately that one stayed on my property. I'm not chancing that again.

If you're specifically aiming to create a Jurassic Park gun, then a 45-70 would seem to be the only choice. If you're willing to scrap the movie gun idea, then a 30-30 is an excellent choice. Just avoid the Remlins although I guess they're better than they were.

Me, I'd go with the 45=70 as I already have a substitute for a 30-30. A can on a lever gun looks tacky.

Just needs a can

and a large lever loop. Plus a scout scope. Or a red dot.

Wait.....

Mossberg also makes the 464 tactical with a removable muzzel break that we have all seen.

If it even remotely fit my collection goals, and money were no concern, I would have one of those absurd "tactical" lever actions completely tricked out just to trigger people.
