I've got some Rainier 230 grain HP bullets that I want to drive with Clays. Thanks for load suggestions.

Clays is faster than Bullseye and will produce peak pressure much earlier in the bullet's travel. You will, therefore, have less total gas for a given pressure and less resulting bullet velocity. Try 3.5 grains. I would not exceed 4.0 grains.
