Back when I shot pistol in the late 90's Universal Clays was the prefered powder for the 40 and standard Clays for the 45. I probably shot 50,000+ rounds with Universal. Much softer shooting than 231 with the same speed.Check the other .45acp post on this page, now anyway for my experience. No experience loading the .40 but I found the 230, 231, 296 and BE to be very dirty and gritty.
