Description

Hodgdon CFE223 1lb

This multipurpose spherical rifle propellant, introduced in January 2012, contains CFE, Copper Fouling Eraser, in its formula. Copper fouling is considerably reduced by this component, which was initially utilized in military propellant. It helps to maintain high accuracy for extended periods of time while reducing barrel cleaning time. Because this is a spherical powder, metering is quite precise. Many cartridges, including the 204 Ruger, 223 Remington/5.56mm NATO, and 22-250, benefit from CFE 223's high velocity. There's also the 308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO, as well as a slew of others. This one will appeal to match, varmint, and AR shooters alike!
