ducky0811 Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'm making the switch from .45 to .40 and trying to not have to load up on a new powder if I can avoid it. I've been using Clay's and clay dot for .45 major for years and plenty of it so.... I know some people are using clays for .40 major with a 180 but it's sort of one of those taboo things... anyone using clay dot in .40 major? How did you work it up, this will be in a 2011 5" gun I'm building right now. thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcc7x7 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Same as you , use clays in my 45. Came across a bunch of ClayDot for the right price and started using it in a 38spl for ICORE. Tried it in the 45. Went to using it in the 40 about a year ago maybe more. 4.5grs CD, S&B spp, Mixed brass, 175SWC or 180grTC Bayou, COL 1.200, Get= PF 172, SD12 Slightly over 5000 rounds without a problem of any kind. shoots soft, accurate out of my guns, hope this helps, good fortune Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolffy1876 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Using Claydot for over 50k rounds. In a 5" M&P with KKM barrel - 1.14 OAL 4.1 gr 180gr Blue Bullet made 171 PF Now shooting a Edge - 1.175 OAL 4.3gr 180gr Blue Bullet making 168 PF Very soft, more of a push then a snap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerJockey Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I generally always use VV powders but ventured out and have had good results so far with Clay Dot. Running 4.1grs under a 180gr Blue Bullet at 1.2" OAL. KKM 5" hybrid and bull barrels on my builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
