Jay Vendetta Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hi there thanks for looking. I'm in southwest Ohio and looking to trade for clays powder if possible. I have 11 pounds of tite group recently purchased and I would like to trade 1 for 1 for clays powder. I could meet at any of the local matches, middletown, xenia, or piqua once matches start up again. Clays is my preferred powder and I would like to keep using it if possible, if not I will work a load up for the tite group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Howdy Jay. Clay-Dot is supposed to be pretty much interchangeable with Clays. You might consider buying some of that and then selling your Titegroup if you don't get any trade offers. Natchez has it right now (though only 1 lb cans).

Jay Vendetta Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 I'll keep that in mind thank you for your advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badlands Bob #61228 Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 You might want to try that Titegroup. I like it better than Clays for pistol cartridges. Burns cleaner at low pressures. I use it for all my pistol caliber reloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grey ghost Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Titegroup has been my goto for 38-40, 45 colt, 44 special and 38 special for over a decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big-un Bruce Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Hi Jay, I have a bottle of this. Bought it last year and never opened it. I’ll sell / trade if you want. Trail boss if you have it or BP works for me. l Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using TG since Clays went dry in about 2012 for pistol & rifle. 2.7 gr with 125gr bullet is a popular load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Marks Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 Titegroup is a great, very versatile powder. I shoot a lot of clays but that’s because I got it very cheap. Once I run out I’d have no problem transitioning to titegroup. I’m not saying you have to do as I do but I think you’ll settle into titegroup just fine should you decide to use it. Added advantage that the titegroup will last much longer (lower charge weight for similar performance) and with the increased price of reloading components that’s not a small thing. I think my comparable titegroup 38sp load is about half the weight of clays (thus is off the top of my head and is not reloading advice). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I've never used Titegroup in .38's but used it in 44 Spcl and .45 when I started. It was a little "snappy" as some others have experienced. Also loosened the screws on my guns more quickly. No big deal and I wouldn't be averse to using it again. But I just liked the Clays better when I switched. Last year my Walmart had one can of Titegroup on the shelf so I bought it "just because."

I will definitely switch if forced to by necessity but like most of us I think I'd rather stick with tried and true. Thank you for the reassurance all the same.

Similar enough experience here bought some awhile back just because, but I'm coming to the end of my stock of clays soon enough and needed more. So I bought a decent amount of this stuff hoping to trade in the best case or use in the worst case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Creek Kid Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 If you load 1 ounce or 11/8 ounce shotgun loads you can use titegroup for that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
