Dominate the Range with Hodgdon CFE 223 Powder

Serious precision reloading requires a propellant that can keep up with long strings of fire without degrading accuracy. Hodgdon CFE 223 smokeless powder is a highly versatile, spherical rifle propellant engineered specifically to deliver jaw-dropping velocities while resolving the single biggest headache in precision shooting: stubborn copper fouling. Whether you are stocking up for an intense competition, loading bulk ammunition for an AR-15 platform, or handloading ultra-precise rounds for a varmint hunt, this advanced ball powder guarantees match-grade consistency with every trigger pull.

The Science of the Copper Fouling Eraser (CFE) Formula

The true magic behind this propellant lies in its name. Originally formulated for rapid-fire military weapon systems, Hodgdon’s proprietary Copper Fouling Eraser (CFE) technology chemically deters copper residue from bonding to your barrel’s rifling.

As you fire, the specialized chemistry works actively inside the bore to break down metal deposits, significantly reducing the buildup that ruins tight groupings. By preventing severe fouling, you can shoot extended strings of ammunition and maintain peak accuracy without needing to stop constantly for a deep scrape and scrub. When it is finally time to clean your rifle, the residue wipes out with minimal effort, saving you precious hours at the maintenance bench.

Seamless Metering for Perfect Batch Consistency

Experienced handloaders know that inconsistent powder drops ruin extreme spread (ES) and standard deviation (SD) numbers. Because Hodgdon CFE 223 is a highly refined spherical (ball) powder, it flows through volumetric powder measures like fine sand.

Why Benchrest and Progressive Reloaders Prefer Ball Powder

1. Flawless Volumetric Flow: Unlike extruded stick powders that can bridge or cut in your powder measure, this spherical propellant drops with sub-grain precision shot after shot.

2. Minimized Progressive Press Friction: If you load in high volumes on progressive reloading presses, CFE 223 eliminates the jerky drops and uneven charges, ensuring your high-volume production rounds match your match-grade single-stage batches.

3. Optimized Case Fill: The dense geometry of the round grains maximizes case capacity, allowing you to easily achieve top-tier load densities and optimal ignition characteristics.

Unmatched Caliber Versatility and Maximum Velocity

Positioned perfectly in the medium burn rate category for rifle powders, Hodgdon CFE 223 yields unbeatable muzzle velocities across an incredibly broad spectrum of popular cartridges. It is an absolute powerhouse for small to medium centerfire rifle calibers.
