Using 45-GAP brass in a 625

[SR]

I've heard some folks use 45 GAP brass for their 625s thinking the shorter case helps for competition shooting.

Does anyone here use GAP brass in their 625?

Any suggested loads using 230gr bullets and Clays or Titegroup?

Works just fine, the shorter round loads and unloads much faster. I also use 38 colt shorts in my 38 special or 357 mag guns for the same reason.
I would have to look in my record book for my tite group load using a 230 FMJ.

I've used Universal Clays in my.45 auto,and it is very dirty.

Clays is a great powder for the 45acp but I have no data ( or use) for the GAP round.

I've tried it just for grins, and I can't see that it really helps reloading speed in competition. Now, if somebody just gave you a thousand empty cases, that might be a compelling reason...
