I bought a pound of just plain old Clays with the intent of working up a load for my 1911. I'm happy with my other powders and didn't see a need to "break the seal" and open the bottle. As it turns out, I'm shooting more 9mm these days and my guns like 4.0gr of Titegroup under either Berry's or Xtreme 124 grain bullets. The problem is that I am down to about a half pound of Titegroup with almost no hope of finding it at least in my area or online.
Have any of you guys tried Clays in 9mm Luger? While Titegroup has a half grain min/max range, Clays only has a .3 to .4gr range. My Lyman powder measure has no problem keeping Titegroup loads right on the money but will Clays measure and flow like Titegroup? Like I said, I haven't opened the bottle so I haven't seen the actual powder yet. The load and chrono data shows that Clays yields much lower velocities than TG loads too. The big question is, would it be worth it to work up a load with Clays or would I be better off trading it for Titegroup?
