There is no need, but as I have more than a dozen powders to choose from why wouldn't I use the most efficient one? If you only use one powder and don't want to buy Trailboss then you'll have to do what you can with that powder.

I can understand using a powder that you already have but the poster on the previous page was talking about using pistol powders. Most people don't have these and need to buy them to experiment with reduced loads. If I want to shoot a 30/06 slower than 3000 fps I can buy Trailboss and get 1700 fps out of it like you do. Most guys want to do this to get a subsonic load, this is what Trailboss is good at, and it is almost foolproof.
