I have tried out Clays in the 45 with 230 FMJ with 3.6-4.0 loads over CCI300lr.
I don't have a crony but I imagine that willbe sooner than later. What performance have everyone who does have a crony get with loading Clays in a 45acp 1911 5"?
I just got 1,000 *-* cases and just want an idea before I try to load the 230gr JHP bullets I have. Rem golden saber bullets. Looks like a drive band of jacket on this bullet of about .2" from base to midway up the bullet cylinder. This tells me it may experience half the resistance the FMJ experience traveling down bore.
From other threads I've read here that might bring a 4gr clays load up to factory ammo speeds.
I am forgetting something in this post so I'll say it here. I have not found any source confidently using a charge of this size of this powder under 230gr FMJ anywhere. This load may be a keeper for my gun and my gun allone. This load may blow your gun up.
Until I find more solid data 4.0 gr of Clays is my max load in this cartridge.
