Anyone use clays in subsonic load in 30-30?

[jaysouth]

I have lots of clays, large pistol primers and lots of 150 gr Accurate plain base bullets.

Anyone have any experience using clays with light loads in 30-30 using large pistol primers?

I have never used Clays but use 700X as my 1000fps load on plain base. I would think that Clays would be just fine.
My 700X load is just under 6.0 grains if my memory serves. I have used Red Dot, Green Dot, Bullseye and a few others but 700X gave the best accuracy. I only have a pound of Clays so I haven't played with it all that much. gmdr.com list a lot of fast powders but Clays wasn't tested. I won't suggest a load but I'm sure somebody around here has.

Isn't Clays just Hodgdon's play on Red Dot? Should work very much the same.

Clays has always been my go to powder for 308 subs

Clays is a good plinker powder in this application. I used 6.2gr behind a 165gr .310" cast flat point for 1050fps, 20" barrel. WLR primer as large pistol might sit too deep in the primer pocket.
