Three Foot Johnson Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Alliant's powder profile for Clay Dot specifically says, "*Not for use in metallic cartridges", yet they publish at least two revolver loads with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 They're trying to find out who actually reads the manual, instead of just looking at the charge weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Choctaw Jack Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 ClayDot is my favorite powder for C45 Specials. I've been using it for several years with good results. And everybody knows that those reloading manuals are just suggestions , right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Internet lore has it that Alliant and Hodgdon got into a bit of a tif when Clay Dot came out as Hodgdon thought it sounded too much like Clays and therefore a copyright infringement. Part of the settlement was that Clay Dot would not be marketed as a cartridge powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
