Hodgdon CFE 223 Smokeless Gun Powder

cfe 223 in stock

This revolutionary, spherical powder was introduced by Hodgdon in January of 2012. This extremely versatile rifle propellant was developed as a copper fouling deterrent as it incorporates in its formula CFE or Copper Fouling Eraser, an ingredient initially used by the military. The resulting powder produces longer periods of consistent accuracy with less barrel cleaning required for many popular cartridges such as the 223 Remington, 22-250 Remington, and 308 Winchester. This powder is ideal for the Match, Varmint, and AR shooters.

Important Information:

Do not exceed the loads displayed in the reloaders guide.

Never mix any two powders regardless of type, brand, or source.

Never substitute any smokeless powder for Black Powder or any Black Powder substitute

This is a great powder. I have used it in my AR-15 with great success. I did just try it in some larger calibers to see what would happen, 30-06 and 308. The 30-06 is a TC venture bolt action and had no issues with Hornaday 110 grain Vmax bullets. I have an AR-10 in 308 with a suppressor. I loaded this powder with several weight bullets and was having bad pressure signs with the starting loads according to the Hodgdon website. I decided to go much lower with the powder charge just to see. I was very happy and this powder works great. For example, Hodgdon lists 308 with 155-grain bullets starting load with CFE 223 at 49.5 grains, I had very bad pressure signs at that charge level. I am at 43.0 grains and everything works great. Seems you just have to do some load workup and see for yourself. I suggest going lower on the charge because this is a hot powder but still a great powder.
