Clays performs well in .45 Colt with light weight bullets, once the bullets start to get heavier Titegroup is a better choice. If you do a bit of load dev with both powders, you will find TG is a better powder for this, I know for the commercial loadings, we had a standard-deviation of 8FPS with a 200gr RNFP.
I do like clays for my 1911, I shoot a lot of the Kieth 200gr SWC, usually at about 3.5grs (a very light load). The problem I've had with clays is when used in cartridges such as 9mm... it doesn't perform all that well and I tended to have cycling issues, for this I moved over to HP-38, and then Titegroup. The only thing I havn't been too keen on is it seems like TG generates a large amount of muzzle flash.
