kneelingatlas Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Clays Clays right? The good stuff Not Universal Clays or International Clays2.8gr with a 147 cast @ 1.10" got me 129pf The only data I have for 124 is longish, but it works in my stock CZ chambers:3.7gr with an Xtreme 124 @ 1.160" got 133pfUse this data at your own risk, with extreme caution and most important of all: USE A CHRONOGRAPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougCarden Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Be VERY CAREFUL when loading below 3.0 grains of CLAYS. The large flakes will bridge and you can have poof instead of blam. Keep weight on the powder feeding down or put some type of vibrator on the powder measure. I thought it was bs but it happened to me as well...... DougC PS Titegroups is much better powder for both bullets and meters much better and is more accurate than CLAYS.....in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good info DougDoes Titegroup shoot as soft and as clean as Clays? Would a full powder measure container take care of the weight issue?

DougC PS Titegroups is much better powder for both bullets and meters much better and is more accurate than CLAYS.....in my experience. I load as low as 2.5 gr of Clays. Trick is to attach an aquarium pump to the side of your powder thrower. Works great in a Dillon with the extra small charge bar.

kneelingatlas Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 That's a great idea! My buddies won't tease me nearly as much with a fish tank pump taped to my powder thrower as they do now with that pink sparkly dildo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
