    W230's burn rate is right with Clays and Red dot.I'd drop down 10% from their load data and start there.

    Yup. Or use Bullseye data. W230P is probably a wee bit slower than Clays/RedDot/BE but using the faster powder data is the safe approach.

    It does leave a rather pernicious fouling behind, and it looks like chopped aluminum foil, but at least it will never go bad.

    My own can only has a few ounces left in it. I use it once in a while for junk loads. I may just leave the rest unfired as an oddity.
    I may be a bit crazy - but I didn't drive myself.
