Hey Old Buddy, I miss you!

I can't think of any other words to describe how I feel right now, without having some Clays to load, this coming week. Although I have pinched my last little bit from the 8lb. jug, I feel just as empty inside as that jug must! I can only remember one other time that I ran out of Clays, many years ago but, I couldn't afford to buy it and make it to the trap shoot if I had spent the money on powder. After that happened, I swore to never let it happen again. This time, however, it wasn't me that caused the problem but, a bunch of hoarders, who have nothing else to do but park outside the best sporting goods dealers and buy every thing that they can the moment the dealer gets the item on the shelves, then they double up on the internet and some fool buys it from them. Clays has been my favorite powder for over 40 years!

Very versatile powder for all target loads in the 12 Gauge. Burns incredibly clean over a range of pressures. Meters very well. Densities have changed with the Canadian manufacture. (always check powder bushings with a scale). A bulky powder which works with a variety of components. Its bulk allows you to achieve the proper stack height in most cases due to its compressibility. Very forgiving in this area. You really can't go wrong with this one as a first choice for 12 Gauge target loads down to 7/8 oz. and up to 1 1/8 oz. at 1145 FPS and beyond in some cases. I'll always have a quantity on my bench.
