No idea, but isn't the Boys .55 virtually identical to .50BMG ballistically?
Trailboss you just fill to the base of the bullet and shoot it, but I haven't seen it used in cases of that volume.
This guy uses 90gn of TB in the .50BMG for 1600fps.

Where do you get 810 grain projectiles? Are they pull downs! Ex-mil?

I have fired a mates Boys .55 many times. Once I fired 6 consecutive shots and paid dearly for months with right shoulder issues.
The reloads he made up were 805gn pushing ~3000fps...dunno about the 810 data but I'll ask him next time we have a shoulder dislocating session....
