I see several trail boss recipes and coated cast projectiles. I have finally gotten my pieces out of jail and I am ready to shoot.
I was hoping to make a sub load I can shoot with components I have on hand as everything I looked for for subs is out of stock.

Projectiles on hand : Hornady BTHP 208 grain, Barnes 130 grain bt, 178 ELD 165 grain interlock.

Powders tite group…. This is what I stocked up on as I thought this is what everyone was using for .308 subs.
CFE.223. H110, BL2C, H4350, leverevolution, H4831SC , H335, SW tac rifle, mag pro, tac, hybrid100v

My rifle is a .308 20” gas gun with a new can I just got. I have large rifle primers.

Can I make anything listed above work for a mag or two??
 
Unfortunately none of your powders are suitable for subsonic loads. You could try, but this will likely result in poor accuracy, high ES, and lots of unburnt powder being ejected.

Trail Boss is very hard to find. The best option is to use a fluffy, fast-burning pistol/shotgun powder. Unique, Red Dot, etc. are options, but do take more care in loading. Good luck.
