FWIW, i loaded some 230gr LRN with 4.0 gr Clays, got an average of 730fps. Nice soft recoil (maybe equates to the "mouse fart" load you are looking for. Pretty darn accurate out of my 5" 1911.
Loaded the same bullet with 4.1 gr Clays and averaged 814 fps. Still a nice recoil but a bit more speed. Both rounds are nice and accurate and either would make IDPA power factor.
As an earlier poster said, Clays is a nice clean-burning powder. It meters very well in my Dillon measure.

Re: Which powder for .45acp?
I've been using Clays with very nice results. It was recommended to me by a co-worker who has been using it exclusively for .45 ACP for the past several years.
