I use both Clays and W231 in my 45's. I think Clays is a bit cleaner but I like both powders. It seems like 231 measures more accurately than Clays. I use 3.6 to 4.0 grains of Clays with 200gr Lyman SWC lead bullets and 5.0gr of W231 with the same bullet. The 3.6grs of Clays load gives me around 713 fps out of my CBOB and the 5.0grs of W231, 720fps.
