This groundbreaking, spherical powder was introduced by Hodgdon CFE 223 Smokeless Gun Powder in January of 2012. This very multipurpose rifle propellant was designed like a copper fouling deterrent since it incorporates in its components CFE or Copper Fouling Eraser, an component at first used by the armed cfe 223 load data service. The ensuing powder makes longer periods of consistent accuracy with much less barrel cleansing demanded for many popular cartridges including the cfe 223 223 Remington, 22-250 Remington, and 308 Winchester. This powder is perfect for the Match, Varmint, and AR shooters.
