I've been loading 165 gr bullets using Clays powder.I picked up a box of 155 gr bullets <( Hornady HP/XTP ),but I can't find loading data using Clays powder.Do any of you have a Hornady reloading manual?Does it have a recipe for Clays and the 155 gr bullets? My Sierra manual jumps from 150 gr bullets to 165 gr bullets.

They don't list any data for their 155gn and Clays Powder. They do list Universal Clays, which loads different.
I loaned the 6th edition (newest one) to friend along with my Hodgdon Manual, so don't have them for reference.
You might try the Hodgdon Website @ www.hodgdon.com, or the Hornady Website.
Good Luck...........
I did try www.hodgdon.com, they didn,t list Clays either. Thanks for the reply.
Do you like that Clay's in your 40??? I have been toying with the idea of grabbing a bottle of a couple other powders. I use Bullseye, which is dirty, but it works just fine. Thought I'd do some research to see which is best.
I really like the Clays powder.Like I said I can get three shot groups that touch each other.It doesn't seem to have a kick, like factory ammo does.Best of all I'll probably kick the bucket before I finish off this bottle of powder.5.2 grains of powder per shell.I've loaded 100 rounds and I still have an almost full bottle of powder.The flakes are a pain to get get down the funnel and into the shell.
What kind of groups are you getting with your load of Bullseye?

At ten yards, freehand, I can group 5rds within an inch and a half. I don't have a pistol rest. I could probably draw them in a little with one.
I was very lucky the first time out with my reloads. I'm not going to brag about iot unless I can duplicate it three time in a row.
