Hodgdons new CFE 223 (copper fouling eraser) Powder
« on: October 26, 2011, 11:05:37 AM »
Maybe I missed it in the past, but scrolling thru the Hodgdons website data I ran across CFE  223 powder data in  the 270 win and 308.   I guess it's a ball powder with  velocity increases in some bullet weights.   Not a lot of data on it.   270 win 100 gr @ 3514 fps & 308 win 150 gr @ 2990.   I haven't seen or know anyone using it.  Anyone using it or know anything about it ?

Roger :  Thanks,   this new powder might be worth looking into especially in the 308.  2990 fps with a 150  or 2828 with a 168 is getting with the program.    That little Kimber I have should really be a lot of fun from the bench,    Not   ;D
