I am given to understand that Trail Boss will work in any cartridge as long as you do not compress it.

But it will not result in typical rifle type velocities in a rifle cartridge.

As others have pointed out, shotgun and handgun crossover powders, not a problem. Rifle velocity powders in cartridges like 7.62x51? Nope. Going to have to go to rifle powders.

I can see the reasons for wanting such a powder; it would be useful for any cartridge and a having a larger supply of it would mean you would be less likely to run out of powder for any cartridge.

That said, anymore I buy commercial ammo for the types of ammo I desire and can buy off the shelf. Given the time and effort to work up cartridges vs. the time it takes to make the $$$ to buy it off the shelf, it is just easier, takes less time to buy it, the ammo is usually more consistent and I can buy it in bulk.

Only very specialized ammo do I reload. Low power loads for magnum handguns, and for rifles - that is what I reload. Other loads I would do myself would be sabots, special bullets (like light cast bullets for large caliber cartridges) and so on. Most of that is covered by Trail Boss.

YMMV
