Description
Hodgdon CFE® 223 is a spherical propellant built for handloaders seeking top velocities in a broad range of rifle cartridges. It is listed for cartridges including .204 Ruger, .223 Remington/5.56mm NATO, .22-250 Remington, and .308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO, along with many more. As always, select data for the exact cartridge and components from Hodgdon load data before loading.
The defining feature is Hodgdon’s Copper Fouling Eraser ingredient. Originally used in military propellant, it greatly deters copper fouling and contributes to longer periods of top accuracy with less barrel-cleaning time. That is a practical advantage for shooters who want to spend more time working with their loads and less time addressing copper buildup.
CFE® 223’s spherical form delivers superb metering accuracy. Consistent metering is a straightforward bench benefit, particularly when assembling rifle ammunition where careful charge control is part of the work.
Made in the USA, Hodgdon CFE® 223 is available in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers. Choose the container size that fits your loading needs, then rely on published Hodgdon data and established safe handloading practices for the cartridge at hand.

love CFE 223
This is my second 8 pounder. I usually reload 1000 rounds at a time. I set my powder measure and check every 10th round and have never needed to adjust it. This powder meters very well. The charge I use leaves perfect head space. I also use Hodgden powders for all the hand gun cartridges I reload from 25 auto to 44 magnum. Never had a problem or a complaint.

"Go to" for .223 and .308
Very consistent metering and velocities. Copper fouling is noticeably less. Love the fact that one powder makes top notch loads for two of my favorite cartridges. I always keep some on hand.

Have used this powder for loads from 5.56mm to 7.62mm and in between with very good results.
