HI5-O Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I just read about a new powder released by Hodgdon called CFE Pistol. Says it's good for 9mm; 38 Super; 40 S&W; 45 ACP. Has anyone seen this powder or used it? Will it make major in 9 and 38? Not that I found this powder but inquiring minds want to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justsomeguy Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I just went to the Hodgdon site and did not see this powder listed. CFE for rifles, yes, CFE for pistols, no mention. Perhaps they are still working up loading data for this, but for now it's a phantom powder like some of the new Alliant ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PINMAN44 Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 CFE Pistol is about the same speed as HS6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve RA Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 I've got plenty of Clays for the amount I shoot anymore. Just threw that in for all the people that are out and can't presently acquire more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Service Desk Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 So do I...... But seriously, ClayDot is a really great powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooter995 Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Found this with a quick search....I am curious if it's anything like HS6. Might be worth trying for 9 Major. Just like its rifle powder counterpart, CFE 223, CFE PISTOL greatly deters copper fouling round after round! CFE, which represents the proprietary chemistry named Copper Fouling Eraser, was developed for U.S. rapid fire military systems. Whatever your game is as a top gun competitor or target plinker you will benefit significantly with longer periods of top accuracy with less barrel cleaning time and minimal muzzle flash. Starting in December visit the Reloading Data Center at hodgdon.com, and you will find an incredible 103 available loads for CFE PISTOL with 37 bullet weights. Check out the data to see a remarkable 15 pistol cartridges featuring the 9mm Luger, 38 Super, 40 S&W, the venerable 45 ACP and many more. CFE PISTOL is a Spherical powder that meters with superior uniformity, it will be offered in one and eight pound containers at dealers everywhere January 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HI5-O Posted November 19, 2013 Author Share Posted November 19, 2013 That's what I was thinking too...for 38Super. Hopefully it'll be available soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if they can actually get this stuff out there so people can try it... that'd be good! Edited November 19, 2013 by Justsomeguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
