Description
Hodgdon CFE® Pistol is a spherical pistol propellant designed for competitive shooters and handloaders assembling target or self-defense loads. It offers optimum performance in popular handgun cartridges including 9mm Luger, .38 Super, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, with application in many additional cartridges supported by Hodgdon data.
The defining feature is Hodgdon’s Copper Fouling Eraser ingredient, originally used in military propellant. It is formulated to greatly deter copper fouling, helping shooters maintain longer periods of top accuracy while spending less time on barrel cleaning.
For the handloader who wants a purpose-built pistol powder for range work, competition, or defensive-load applications, CFE Pistol brings a practical advantage to the bench: attention to fouling management alongside performance in widely used pistol cartridges. As always, use Hodgdon published load data for the exact cartridge and load combination.
Hodgdon CFE Pistol is made in the USA and is available in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers.

CFE
I have found this powder to be very dirty when I used the recommended starting load published for 45 ACP. I contact Hodgdon and they recommend decreasing the bullet length (was in spec) and increasing the crimp which I did and it still produced the same results.The load for 45 ACP for Clays using the original length and crimp worked just fine (not dirty at all). I am loading a SS TRP so the gun is high quality so it is not the gun. I have 5-6, 1-lbs containers and will continue to use this powder because of the shortage but would not buy it again.
