Clean .45 acp powder suggestion

I tried to get some 231 today but unfortunately the local Cabellas was out
Below is about half an hour of relax time after work the other day

I am by no means a expert loader, but I too stricty use W231. I was tought to use it and it works for me. I only reload practice loads and its not too bad.

I also use 231, it works well for me. Relatively clean burning.
HP-38 is the same powder as 231

I use HP-38( Like Volt said, it's the exact same powder as ww231), 5.2 grains behind a 230 at 1.265OAL is a good Military-equiv. load. 830fps.

I'll see if I can't get my hands on some of the HP-38, thanks for the assist

Hodgdon Clays powder works great and is very very clean. You will use less as well ... under 5 grains for a good target load with 200 grain bullets!

I thought I had read about Clays somewhere, I had a # in my hand yesterday now I wish I had tried it. What shape is it and does it meter easily?
