Hodgdon says to NEVER use Clays International in pistol ammo because pressures are unstable and can become dangerous. I would suggest no one use that powder for handgun ammo. I have used Clays and Clays Universal and both work well in handgun ammo but I would pay attention to Hodgdon's caution about Clays International.
