    CFE Black in the 7.62x39

    I am looking to try some CFE Black in the x39 using bullets from 125 to 160 gr. Seems like this powder makes good velocity with acceptable pressures. I have had good results with Reloader 7 and pretty good results with Accurate 1680. Looking at the testing Larry has done, Leverevolution appears to be the one to beat with heavier bullets. Its time to buy powder and am looking for anyone that has tried the CFE Black with the lighter bullets.

    Not x39 but BO, works with 150 & 180gr. Burns dirty at lite loads. Composed of several different kernels. Doesn't come highly recommended from the BO crew.
    Whatever!

    I may have been a little premature. I dug around in my powder stash and found a full 8 pounder of 1680. I have been doing a lot of searching here and seems like a lot of folks are impressed with the performance that H4198 provides so I may try that in the future as well.

    A few guys I talk to on another forum swear by cfe blk for the x39. They say Max velocities and zero issues, high velocity accuracy nodes too. It is on my list to try out.
