TT-
Thanks for the input. Ordering from Recob's, Clays is $6 more than RD in 8# jugs...a strike against it (since there are no local sources for reasonable prices). Looking at load data, I have yet to find any significant advantage of one powder over the other and cleanliness isn't that big a deal to me (except that my kid's hand gets really grubby from feeding his 1100).
Here's my main reason for asking about this:
Right now, with 17.0 gr RedDot, I don't always get good, non-protruding, crimps on AA (and the cheap Remington) hulls dropping 1 oz. of shot into Green Duster wads. My solution to this has been to use Blue Dusters in these hulls or the Greens for 7/8 oz loads.
(Right now, 90+% of our loads are 1oz, and since I order nearly all my components, I'm trying to simplify. Also, I get excellent results with Greens in STS and Nitro hulls.)
Is Clays enough less bulky that I could stick with the Greens/AA/1 oz combination and produce a well crimped shell? If so, should I also expect dished-in STS's and Nitro's?
