If Clays were still available, I'd be using that. But I switched to WST and have 8lbs of it.
It's still not available? I bought an 8 lb of clays for me and one for a friend that wanted do you get into reloading. When he realized it wasn't as cheap as he thought he never paid me I kept his. At 4 grains a shot 16 lbs will last me a long time. Maybe I'll give the wst another shot. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You need to up your load a bit. I have both powders and prefer clays. As far as primer size I've never noticed anything. I put the wst away I'll find another use for it.

I never had any luck with clays and 9 mm,the 147 uses so little powder as it is. there are better powders suited for 9mm. if you looking for soft loads try universal. 3.2 of universal is good and soft. but a very accurate load.
3.9 grains of clays with a 200 lswc bullet is a good paper puncher. I have loaded 5.8 grains hp38 with the same bullet also both shot well.

I had quite a few blood tests lately. iv'e been casting and reloading for the past 5 years. and my levels are normal. keep clean wash your hands and use common sense. tumble outside always.
It's more of the recoil impulse I guess. I like it with a heavier bullet in 45. I just bought 8 lbs I'll have that for a good while. A 158 grain bullet in a 357 case with 5.7 grains of universal is super accurate out of a smith I have. Yeah I like universal

5 grains of universal with a 230 grain bullet works well for me. If you load it with 200 grain bullets at can be a bit harsh. I like the push universal gives,
Universal clays is good for me in 45 5.1 grains with a cast 230. Nice plinking load flat shooting little recoil and on the clean side. As far as just clays powder I like it with 200 grain bullets but not 230s. 4 grains of clays with a 200 grain wadcutter a match made in heaven. Ive never used international clays
I've tried to like universal for 45 acp but never had good luck with 230s but 6 grains with a 200 works great go figure.

I've never had leading from their bullets.They make a hard bullet. I'm new to casting and the bullets I'm making now are nowhere near as hard and my barrel is clean .
I've used them they have a cannelure that i really didn't like. more of a cowboy bullet to me but they did shoot fine. I had got them to load for a friends xd he changed his mind about reloading and i was stuck with 1000 of them and the bill. I had to seat them past the cannelure to get proper function around 1.19 to run in my 1911's and P220
I never use that die when loading lead. I got to thinking why would I want to squeeze my lead down to .451 when I have it at .452 for a reason. Btw good work on the channel keep it up

I have used these bullets and like them. i just treat them like any other 200 grain "semi" wadcutter or bullet for that matter for 45 acp. what ever powder your using go to their website look at the data and work up a load that gives you the best groups. I use clays 4 gr and they shoot great. best of luck
Out of my Sig p220 3.9 - 4 ish of clays will cycle the slide and thats a 20 lb spring i would leave it see if you need it first Nice job on your channel keep it up
