Hodgdon Clays and 45acp

[Skinny Shooter]

I've been putting off loading the 45acp for years and decided I'm just gonna do it.
Life is too short.
I've got 8lbs of Hodgdon Clays for the 12ga and figured I'd try it for the 1911.

Anyone else use this powder for pistol reloading?
How do you like it?
Haven't bought any bullets yet and could try the 185, 200 or 230 grainers.

How do you work up a load when there are only .4 grains difference between min and max loads?

Haven't sprung for a progressive yet and will be rolling them via the Rockchucker.
It may be slow but it gets them done.
Btw, years ago I started loading for the 357 with HS-6 and 125gr XTP's.
That powder has been great.
