justmike Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 This is going to sound stupid but I'm researching loads for 45acp and I see clays mentioned mant times, are they talking about Hodgdon's universal clays? Just wonder which one to pick up. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddje Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) Clays is different from Universal Clays. BOTH can run a variety of .45ACP loads. Just be certain that you have the right one, as they are NOT the same. No one can figure out why the same company named one product Clays and one Universal Clays. As a side note, there's also Hodgdon International Clays which is a third different powder, but you won't see near as much mention of it in pistol-shooting circles. Uh oh, I can hear the "search police" coming for you already. (If you search the forums you will find lots of load data for each type of powder, but please sanity check anything you read on the Internet with a real published load book as well: Lyman, Speer, Lee, whatever you like.)

ChuckS Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Just plain old Clays, not International Clays or Universal Clays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmike Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Thanks for the replies. For sure I'll double check in the manuals. Just wanted to be safe. Thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
