Have your reloading supplier order it - it's new and has not been become popular yet

Good luck, CFE223 hasn't been available for months, no way is this going to be out
iv got some CFE 223 loaded up 50 match grade rounds with it but havent shot it yet
I use H335 for 223 21.5g will stack them in a 3/4" group. But iv been using 700x for 9mm and dont think I can get power factor out of it safely.
27.5g cfe 223 50 grain z(V)-max will put 4 in a spot the size of a dime at 100 yards, why I am trying to find more of it
I don't think CFE pistol is released yet.

I contacted customer service at Hodgdon and they told me that CFE Pistol would not be available until sometime between May and August of 2014

I did not realize it was not released yet, it looks like good stuff I will be in line when they release it for sure. Thanks Bonz
Pistols should shoot BOOLITS - no need for that stuff.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
Just picked up 4 x 1 pounders of Hodgdon CFE Pistol smokeless powder at Hyatt Guns in Charlotte NC ( $26.99 a pound ). Unfortunately they don't ship, you have to pick up in their store.

Picked up a pound at $23.99 at my local GS. Might get another if still some there tomorrow. (2 pound limit)
What copper fouling??
it's out there, picked up a pound last week, LGS got a shipment in (upstate NY), although limit 1 per customer...getting low on 231, and haven't seen any in more than 2 years.
i tried my rounds last week the 46 grains in 308 behind a 155 palma was not an impressive group and was doing 1" 1/2 at 200 yards , now considering i got blackspot surplus down to .28" at 100 yards
i also loaded up 26 grains in 223 behind a 55 fmj and i got alot of delay fires , and didnt even bother with accuracy
these were not exactly top end loads and there was abit of room in the case so maybe this powder would benifit from a filler or being compressed ....as long as you under the max
the CFE Pistol meters great thru my Hornady measure. loaded up some 124gr 9mm, shot fine, mild report and low recoil. kinda boring, lol. normally use PowerPistol in my 9mm's. gonna load up some 45acp and see how that does.
