Does Clays look like this?

[Steve Koski]

Medium gray flake powder with "marker" flakes that are tan with a black dot in the center.

might just be the color resolution on my laptop, that looks darker than the pound I'm working .40's on..

Hello, Steve...I just gotta ask..Why are you asking? Are you dealing with a batch of mixed powders? Or just some broken down ammo? Trying to identify smokeless by sight can be dangerous.

My Clays has some of those donuts in it as well. When I first noticed them I thought oh my goodness, how did I get TB in my Clays, but a new one pounder was the same way.

It doesn't mean that is Clays.

.22,

Just for fun. Trying to guess at some rounds I disassembled. Not going to use the powder.

Thanks,

Koski

I think it is Clays. I just found my jug and it looks just like his.

 

[Steve Koski]

That's what some other guy said, but he's a little crazy, so it's good to have independent confirmation.

Dump it, its not worth having someone else open your ketchup bottles for the rest of your life-

Remember, there is Clays, Universal Clays, and International Clays - all made by the same company with different burn rates but are similar looking

The OP has several threads going on powder ID. In pretty much all of them, he explains that he is not going to use the powder, he's just interested in learning what powders others were using in found loads.

I think Steve understands there is a difference between Clays, Universal and International. They don't look anything alike, at least not Clays and Universal. Two very different looking powders. He also also acknowledged the disclaimer about not re-using the powders, so lets just answer the question.

Steve, are you sure that's a dot in the center of the marker flakes, or are they hollow?

 

[Steve Koski]

It might be hollow. I should find a magnifying glass...

I have some older 700-X that has that same look but the colored flakes are more of a dull yellow/goldish color. So there you have a another possibility.

I just bought some cans of Clay's last week and it looks the same. The little doughnuts look suspiciously like Trail Boss, but are actually smaller in diameter.

I loaded 100 rounds of .45ACP with the stuff which I shot this afternoon, and works great. Shoots really clean.

I wouldn't worry about it. If the OP doesn't want to use it, I'll take it off his hands.

Thas alot of hazmat fees for such a little amount of powder.
