I've used 3.5-3.6 gr of Clays with a 124 gr bullet in the past, which the load window according to Hogdon is 3.5-3.7. They do not publish data for 147gr bullet and Clays. I've read on various places online that trying Clays with 147 is getting into dangerous territory. I would not try this with 147 gr bullets.

I use the same for my loads, and I find that if you are paying attention to each powder level, a double charge is quite obvious. It also helps if you are loading on a progressive that makes it difficult, if not impossible, to double charge (650?). I used to load single stage and powder drop into 50 cases on a loading block, then take a flashlight and inspect them all.
