Description

Hodgdon CFE Pistol 1lb

Hodgdon CFE Pistol is a spherical powder that was created for military use in the United States. The Hodgdon CFE formula, Copper Fouling Eraser, is used in this superb pistol propellant, which nearly eliminates copper fouling while still offering top velocities, clean burning, and low muzzle flash. CFE Pistol provides optimum performance in cartridges such as the 9mm Luger, 38 Super, 40 S&W, the legendary 45 ACP, and many others for competitive shooters and hand loaders seeking the best powder for target or self-defense loads.
