Clays, or AS30 as it's known in Australia is a handy powder for .45 ACP loads, as it is close to "Bullsye" in burn / peak pressure rate.
I'd not use it in .40 cal unless you wanted minor factor loads.
RePete,
yes, as I stated: Clays is very similar to Bullseye. Universal Cays is similar to Unique.
Unique is much slower burning than Bullsye.

Guys,
the Hodgdon powders you are discussing are manufactured in Australia so I have plenty of experience with them.
"Clays" is a fast buring powder similar to Bullseye. It's best used in shotshells.
"Universal Clays" is closer to Unique - maybe a bit faster. It can be utilsed in 9mm loads but needs a dense loading to achieve best effect. Better to use projectiles 135gn or heavier. The loading of 125gn or less results in too much variation in velocity.
Universal really shines in .40 cal / 180 - 200gn loadings. It was our number one choice for .40 until the government banned calibres larger than .38 in Australia.

Dave,
I load LEE 1oz. slugs in a AA hull with 20gn Green Dot and a pink Win. wad.
Great low recoil load for manual operating guns.

TannerB,
sounds like a barrel problem to me. Not all "Drop In" barrels are ...
Your extractor / ejector should have no bearing on the problem.
If I remember from my Armourers course, the standard recoil spring should be a 17lb.
