I have been using 231 for some time in my revolver (.38/.357), and I have always dreaded the cleanup after any rangetime. My hands were always black by the end.

I recently have been experimenting with Hogdon's Clays, I'm getting great results accuracy-wise from it and it is sooooo much cleaner than the 231 loads I was using. My hands are still clean, even after a long range session.

I just went and looked at the container and they have one .45 ACP load on the label. I know it doesn't match the case capacity that you were looking for but...if you want clean.

The label on the Clays container shows a 185 JHP bullet with 4.9gr of Clays (MAX LOAD), and they quote a velocity of 981 fps.

Hope this helps.
