Any experiences loading Trail Boss on the 650 ?

Hey fellow loaders, looking for some feedback on if I can successfully load 308 subs. Looking to load 220 gr cast RN's with about 10 gr of TB. How does that fluffy TB powder meter through the Dillon powder measures ?
 
I've used Trail Boss with some 15 calibers, all the way from .22 Savage Hi-Power to .416 's and .458's, including .308's. There's hardly a caliber where it cannot be used effectively. I don't weigh the charges but just use what Hodgdon calls a max load, that is fill the case to where the base of the bullet will be after it is seated. For a while it was being said not to compress the powder but Hodgdon finally said that compressing could cause inaccuracy, not dangerous as originally thought. It measures very smoothly through RCBS competition powder measures. Have never tried it through a Dillon but my guess is that it should perform favorably. Can't think of any shortcomings of the powder to pass along. Mostly I use cast bullets with gas checks or moly coated bullets without.

I have loaded. 44 mag, .357 mag, and .45 acp with trailboss. I use Dillon powder measures on my 550b and my LNL. The only issue is that when you get above 7 grains you need the large powder bar as trailboss is very bulky. It does meter accurately from my Dillon measures.
