225 gr 45 acp and clays?

[dunsforo]

Any body have a manual that details grain and COL for 45 acp using Hodgon's Clay? Their website jumps from 200 to 230. 200 start at 3.6 and 230 starts at 3.5. I figure I can start at 3.6 and work up. But if someone has something in writing, I would have a much warmer feeling about it. I was peeking in Lymans #48 and I think it has it but I can't remember - I was trying to get 230 gr, but they didn't have any left.
Thanks,
Ron

My opinion only.
I think that since 225 & 230 grns are so close that I would not worry about the 5 grain difference. I would use the 230 data.

Again, my opinion only.

I tend to agree, but I am still fairly new in the reloading game, So I still defer to anybody who knows what they are talking about,

Yep, data for a 230 will work just fine. Neither of my Lyman books give data for Clays though. Mind you, they're not exactly new either.

rule of thumb, if you cant find a load for that particualar bullet weight, then use the heavier bullet loading data, pressure wise your on the safe side
