Has anyone tried the Hodgdon CFE 223 powder? I can't find it any place locally. The write up and the velocity's listed it their new magazine look good but I don't want to pay haz mat fees to order thru the mail.

I am using it one of my 8x57's with the 180 gr BT. It does run clean as advertised. The combo went to Africa last month and did a bit of hunting. I didn't have time to run the chronograph but by their data it is a very good match for the round. | |||

Works well in both the 204 Ruger and the 223. I haven`t tried it in the 223 with any but the 52gr Nosler though so I cant speak as to how it does with heavier or lighter bullets. ------------------------------------ The trouble with the Internet is that it's replacing masturbation as a leisure activity. ~Patrick Murray "Why shouldn`t truth be stranger then fiction?

It is getting very good results in the Grendel and is one of the better powders for that case. Information is on the Grendel forums. | |||

I've tried it in a 223. Thus far, it has been OK but not spectacular accuracy wise but maybe I haven't found the right bullet combination yet. I have yet to determine if the barrel stays cleaner while using it. | |||

I use it in my stag. It doesnt copper foul. You still have powder foul. I shoot 69 gr. sierras about 1.5 at 100. | |||
