This groundbreaking, spherical powder was introduced by Hodgdon CFE 223 Smokeless Gun Powder in January of 2012. This very multipurpose rifle propellant was produced to be a copper fouling deterrent because it incorporates in its system CFE or Copper Fouling Eraser, an component cfe 223 load data originally employed by the military. The resulting powder makes for a longer period periods of regular precision with less barrel cleaning required for many popular cartridges including the 223 Remington, 22-250 Remington, and 308 Winchester. This powder is ideal for the Match, Varmint, and AR cfe 223 shooters.
