Description
Hodgdon Clays is a clean-burning, consistent powder built around the needs of clay-target shooters. Since 1992, it has been recognized in the clay-target world and is described as a preferred choice of competitive target shooters. For 12 gauge, Clays is available for 7/8-, 1-, and 1-1/8-ounce shot-charge applications.
The burning characteristics of Clays produce soft, smooth recoil and excellent patterns. That combination keeps the focus where it belongs: on repeatable target performance, whether the day calls for a few rounds or a full program on the range.
Clays also carries its target-focused performance into handgun applications. Hodgdon identifies .45 ACP and .38 Special among the cartridges where Clays provides target accuracy and reliable functioning. It is available in 14 oz., 4 lb., and 8 lb. containers and is made in Canada.
As with any powder selection, consult the Hodgdon Reloading Data Center and follow all product-label precautions for published load data appropriate to your specific application.

I loaded 9 mm with 124 grain jacked hollow points and 3.3 grains of clays. Fired in a canik rival. got only a little over 800 fps and empty would not eject. that was the most powder I saw on your chart for 124 grain bullets.

Clays Powder
I have always used only Hodgdon powders for my shotshell reloading. They work. Nothing else to be said.

clays
Very hard to find right now locally or online. Paying a pretty penny however for my 7\8 skeet loads it only takes 14.8 gns and goes bang every time and leaves my gun clean as a whistle. I like things simple and safe so Ill keep on the lookout for Clays.
