I think they were out to lunch when they came up with the "Clays" series of names. There's Clays, Universal Clays and International Clays. That leaves lots of room for some serious misunderstanding of which powder is which,
This seems to be a common complaint. But I wonder why you never hear it about the "Dots", red, green, blue, and now "clay dot."

I don't think I want to dream up a load for an uncharted powder for a light blowback pistol.

An interesting note about this is that for many of the powders listed the start load is the same as the max load! (note the data for red dot 95 grain bullet above). I have no idea why that is
I think it is because Lee's starting load is the load at or below maximum that they make a measure disk cavity for. No relation to the usual -10% starting point recommendation. Their never exceed load is the powder maker's maximum.
