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.

Great powder for the Valkyrie
This is my favorite powder for .223 Rem & 224 Valkyrie. Love the quick shipping from Hogdon too!

CFE223
This powder shot Hornady 75s better than H4895. I will switch to this powder for that bullet. It did not do as well with other bullets I tried it with but the 75s are my go to.

CFE223
The CFE223 product received was as advertised. This powder worked well during reloading process and metered well thru the powder dispenser. Range test was very good ( I am a plinker not a precision shooter ). I wish to add the Hodgson online ordering was simple and easy to complete purchase. The shipping / delivery was outstanding. I will purchase this product again.

Hodgdon CFE223
Only powder I've found to date that truly shoots well in 224 Valkyrie without going over pressure. Maintains velocity without having to load max.

One of the most accurate and versatile rifle powders available. 5.56 7.62x51, 30-30. The big three of rifle cartridges love this powder and velocities are among the highest you can attain.

The velocities I'm getting with this powder in my 7-08 are outstanding. And I love the way it meters. This powder is definitely worth trying!
