Anyone use clays for 35 Remington and cast?

[tawastom]

I have a bit of it, i use in my pistols and wondered about my 35 Marlin 336

I've used it for a couple rounds in a .308 just for fun. Don't use too much. CLAYS makes for a great clean pistol powder.

YIKES! Stay down around 2-3 gr or less. VERY, VERY fast and builds pressure
really fast. You can't even make normal .45 ACP velocity with Clays with a 230 gr
boolit and stay inside the SAAMI pressure limits.

I'm not sure of any data available. It is listed as being just a touch slower than Red Dot although just 2 slots. I'm thinking if you stayed in the low to middle end you could probably use Red Dot data. A call to Hodgdon would probably be a good idea. Clays has worked well for me in the 45acp and Colt, and I've used some in the 30-30 cartridge in rifles. I think you could produce some fun plinker loads, but as you probably already know procede cautiously!
Hopefully there will be others come along with their thoughts.
Good Luck,
Rick

Get some Trail Boss for some fun plinker loads. I'm gonna try some plain base 358 boolits and some Trail Boss.

Simple IMR Trail Boss data:

I like herco with my own cast 195 gr lrn bullets for plinker loads out of my 336/35 . I would have to double check but I think im using 12.5 gr. for 180 gr speer jacketed flat point bullets I like varget . im not saying clays cant be used just that ive never seen any data for it anywhere, usually slower pistol powders

Clays in shotshells is pretty close to Red Dot. In pistol cartridges what data I've seen shows it faster than Red Dot or Bullseye even. That said I've tried it a bit and never found anything in the .45 or .38 spl with Clays that was as accurate as the old standbys of Bullseye,231, or Unique. YMMV
