I know people don't like 40s but CFE Pistol works really well in it.

@762N8O 3 месяца назад

i have a very accurate 40 load w Xtreme 155 and CFE- P 6.8gn- but as alwys do your reserach and start low

@benneuls4142 2 года назад

I think it's my favorite pistol powder overall because of its versatility

@shawndonahue4673 Год назад

New to reloading, about a year 1/2. Did some research, purchased some reloading books, settled on CFE Pistol as my first powder. I consider myself lucky. I’ve since loaded .380 auto, .357 mag and thousands of 9mm. Very happy with it. Thanks Gavin for all your knowledge, deep dives and great content. Oh ya, I’m loading with a Lee loadmaster.

@adamturnbull6157 2 года назад

CFE pistol has worked great in 9mm and 45 acp, with 115/124 gr bullets in 9mm and 230gr bullets in 45. It's my go to powder for semi auto handguns.

@stickfighter1038 2 года назад

CFE Pistol is also great for 380 ACP and 32 HR Mag. 380 ACP was actually the first cartridge that I used CFE Pistol for. It is probably the best pistol powder for use in progressive presses.

@toddc1786 2 года назад

Gavin, thank you for your commitment to educating the reloading community. Your videos are very informative and professionally done. I always learn something new. Keep up the great work!

@dougschaller2755 3 месяца назад

4.1 grains of CFE Pistol behind a 147 grain 9mm bullet is a great subsonic load for both my handguns and AKV.

@Huntinghockeyoutdoors 2 года назад

Love your channel, and the CFE pistol powder. For my CZ shadow 2 I use 3.7gr under a 147gr Campro with a Federal primer. Great recoil impulse for fast follow up . Love it!

@upperroomtoo 2 года назад

I have used it with 44 Mag, 357 Mag, 38 Spl, 45 ACP, 380 ACP, and 9mm. It is a great full power powder for the auto cartridges. In the mag revolvers it made some nice mid range practice ammo and I loaded about 500 38 Plus P loads and had a great time. I am looking for more of it now. Out of stock everywhere in my area.

As a first time reloader, I got CFE Pistol for reloading 9mm, 115gn, berry's jacketed and hornady 115 XTP HP, loading them using Dillon RL550C with Lee carbide dies. I don't think I will ever use any other powder. Very happy with this. I just got myself a 8Lb jug.

@briancowan4318 2 года назад

I've used CFE Pistol 5.1 & 4.5 grains respectively on 9mm, 115 & 124 gr. The setup I use is a Hornady LNL AP press, with RCBS dies and a 3D printed case feeder. So far that is the only pistol caliber that I reload for, but I've got some hungry 9's. Now I need primers more than anything else.

This powder is a very good choice for .38 Special+P and midrange .357 loads. I think of it as a less muzzle-flashy version of Alliant Power Pistol - a highly desirable feature set. (especially since Alliant powders are now unobtanium for the foreseeable future)

@r1ckgr1m3s8 2 года назад

So far I've only loaded some 38 spec & +p with it using Lee turret & perfect powder measure. Going to try it in 40s&w soon as well as 9mm. The 38 spec performed well with it & it flowed great in the lee powder measure

It only makes sense to not allow yourself to be distracted during the loading process..turn off your radio and phone to prevent over charging...safety first!

@a1nelson Месяц назад

For me, a bit of music helps me focus by drowning out external noises. But, I couldn’t agree more with your core message - when you’re reloading, you’re reloading. Full stop. In the interest of safety, I would add one technique that I try to apply, which is to dump out the last _few_ rounds/loads if I’m interrupted by a person, pet, event, etc. Pilots are trained to restart a checklist if they’re ever interrupted before it’s completed. Redoing a bit of work is annoying, but restarting is cheap compared to dealing with the aftermath of an accident.

@454Casul 2 года назад

I load 45 Auto+P, for my 45Auto AR and my FN-FNX Tactical! CFE Pistol produces some of the highest velocity rounds in the Hornady manual, for 45 Auto. I really like this powder, I bought an 8lb bottle of it. I am going to try it in my 45 colt, and maybe my 454 Casull as well.

@EtherFox 2 года назад

One of my favorite 40SW loads is 200gr bullets over 4.75gr CFE Pistol for about 950fps. 180-200gr 40SW is possibly the most underappreciated cartridge combinations in shooting.

@duroisgawd 2 года назад

I appreciate 10mm more.

@redrock425 Год назад

40S&W is a great cartridge. Nice compromise between 9mm and 45ACP, good velocity and bullet weight with decent capacity without the need for a huge pistol.

@meesterp Год назад

Downloaded 40s are softer than 9s. I shocked three different HK VP9 shooters when they shot my VP40. Power factor of the 40 loads were about 140. One of the 9s was factory 9 loads of 115gr/1150fps. No contest. That shooter said Smoooth=40 and exclaimed "Violent!" after his first shot with his 9. In a pair of HK P30L in 9 and 40 the 40 was a little softer relative to reduced power 9mm reloads using 135gr jacketed vs my powder coated 173gr 40s.

@ibmoose13 2 года назад

CFE Pistol has become my go-to for 9mm. My preferred projo is the 147gr Xtreme and I load on a Square Deal B.

@chriscosby2459 2 года назад

A lot of us like .40 S&W.

@miniaturefarmer464 Год назад

@jacquesbeliveau2716 8 месяцев назад

Would you mind giving us some educated information about reloading PCC in 9 mm P plus with 124 GR HOLLOW POINT. I WOULD appreciate... Ruger PC9 carbine has an 18 1/2 inch barrel in Canada and 16 inch. In USA. Thank you for your time.😊

@11C1P 2 года назад

Gotta love the 40 haters. 180gr @ 1200fps out of a 10mm it's a nuclear bomb in a bullet! 180gr @ 1100fps out of a 40, probably won't even punch through the paper, BUT the recoil WILL break your wrist! SMH. My girls when they were in grade school could shoot 40 handguns just fine.

@guyminer2384 2 года назад

Laughin' here. You're right. :)

@EtherFox 2 года назад

40SW is Shrödinger's cartridge. Simultaneously the weakest yet most wrist-breaking cartridge ever made until observed.

@chriscosby2459 2 года назад

The other day at the range, I was more accurate shooting my .40 S&W than my 9mm pistol. I handload some soft shooting .40 rounds that are quite mild and still cycle well.

Looks like something I would like to try in my 9mm and 10mm handguns, if my local gun shop has any. FYI, one powder that I have used for many years in my .357 and .41 mag. is Win 296. I have had great results with this powder in both magnum calibers. If you haven't used it, give it a try, I think you will be very surprised with the results. A friend also uses 296 in his .44 mag with equally good results. Thanks Gavin for another great video..👍👍

@johnmcdougald1238 Год назад

I started using it to reload 124gr 9mm and found it shoots more consistantly than my CCI Blazer ammo that I typically use for practice ammo. I'm shooting it through an M&P 1.0 9mm and loading it on my trusty old Lee Loadmaster. I'm kinda new to CFE and was always a regular 231/38 user until I got a couple of jugs of CFE becase they were out of either the HP38 or 231 and figured I'd give it a try. Now, it's my go to powder for the regular pistol loads. With CFE, there's, pretty much a load for every pistol I own.

@gorillamotors 2 года назад

Using a Dillon 650 on 9mm 10mm 40S&W 45ACP 45Colt. It meters extremely well in my Dillon 650. I am still on the fence about the CFE part of the powder. Still working on that one.

@johnknouse8846 2 года назад

About 5.5 grains pushing a 115 grain Berry’s bullet is a pretty standard load for range plinking. Works great in my 230 grain .45acp loads also.

@mybuickskill6979 2 года назад

Cfe pistol was one of my first powders I bought... I still use it. 223 was the same case. First powder for rifle(223 556 mostly) it's a solid powder. I haven't tested nor really cared about the temp stability as I load rather low in most cases. I like the fast clays powder also but the cfe is very flexible for literally everything I load for 🤗

I does ok with .45 ACP, definitely not the best choice. But if you're not chronographing your rounds, you wont notice.

@YuSun 2 года назад

Do be careful with double charge, with CFE Pistol on 45 ACP, it is possible and dangerous -- so I always weight check loaded rounds for anything more than 4gr diff. Trust me, a lesson learnt hard way.

@michaelcheshareck3275 2 года назад

@@SDMacMan I’m loading 230 grainers, and it looks like CFE Pistol can get up there in velocity decently enough with the heavier bullets. From what I’m reading Ramshot Enforcer can get insane velocities with 230 grain bullets at standard pressure (somewhere around 1000-1050 FPS) but takes huge charges and will beat you and the gun up in the process.

@michaelcheshareck3275 2 года назад

@@YuSun much appreciated on that tip. I will be loading on a Zero turret press and I weigh every charge so I think I’ll be okay. If I get it set up on my Dillon I’ll use a powder check station. I started using trailboss for 38 special to help minimize the double charge risk.

@SDMacMan 2 года назад

@@michaelcheshareck3275 You get more consistency with faster powders. But if you're looking for +P rounds, CFE will definitely get you there. Do your gun and brass a favor though and get a heavier recoil spring. I wouldn't use Enforcer, unless you want half your powder blowing out the muzzle unburnt.

@bharnden7759 2 года назад

CFE Pistol is the only pwdr listed in the Hodgdon annuals 2021 pg 66 as usable across the board from tgt to light magnums. Maybe not the best in every cal, but probably good enough in these shortage times. Your gun mileage may vary.

@nospam3409 2 года назад

I can see where this could be a good powder, but I don't personally have any use for it. Never had an issue with copper in my pistol barrels. Most of my pistol ammo is loaded at the low end for economy and general training and CFE is more of a mid range powder. I've used a lot of powders over the years, but I keep coming back to Green Dot. 5 to 6 gr works well in 9mm, 40, and 45. 7 to 8 gr makes a fantastic slightly reduced .223 varmint load out to 150 yds ;)

@bustabass9025 Год назад

Was thinking about using CFE Pistol in working up 38+P loads for the Colt KC Target model revolver I just bought. I have some 124 grain Berry's flat nose plated bullets that my Taurus G3x just plain refuses to feed. I've got good neck tension with the .356 diameter bullets, and a firm crimp should keep them seated to specified OCL in the cylinder.

@DerekJones 2 года назад

I've tested it like at least five thousand times. No failure or problems, and I don't even clean my handguns but maybe once a year.

@raywells2858 2 года назад

Excellent video guys I really enjoyed this one in particular almost as much as I did the CFE 223. I typically used Unique and Bullseye for all my hand gun and shot gun needs but I like the idea of one powder to do every hand gun round generally speaking. I dont shoot a lot of Magnums and when I do I like something a little closer to the tame side of things instead of ludicris velocities. This sounds like the cats meow. I am seriously digging Homies 11 grs in that 44 Mag...that sounds like just the ticket!

@raywells2858 2 года назад

Im a huge fan of the Trail Boss!!! Its another one of my favorites for all the reasons you mentioned despite the fact I dont shoot Cowboy Action matches. I just dont use it enough to buy it in bulk or keep ;arge quantities of it like I do about 4-5 other powders.

@guyminer2384 2 года назад

Ray - I saw that 12 grains of CFE Pistol was the max recommended load for the 44 magnum and 240 gr jacketed bullets, so I chose 11 grains and oh my goodness! Easy to shoot and accurate. I think that's the first time my 44 has out-shot my 45 1911 pistol!

@yeayeasautoadventures Год назад

@faelwolf1177 4 месяца назад

CFE Pistol is pretty handy for 45 Colt in the replica Black Powder Cartridge pistols and weaker lever actions like the 1860/66/73's. Can't speak to originals, as I don't have that kind of budget :) Good velocity with low pressure. You'll run into leading issues before you overpressure the guns if you stick with book loads and cast bullets, and Hodgden's starting load matches the black powder ballistics of the day with the sporting grade pistol powder they used, that is no longer made. No need at all to hot rod it! For the old style BPC guns, a middle of the pack load is the sweet spot for me. But the drawback is even their starting load is too hot for SASS at 930+ FPS out of a 7-8 inch barrel for a 250gr LRNFP, and a number of folks find it chronoing faster, depending on the gun, etc. YMMV. So for CAS you'll want to stick to faster powders like Trailboss, etc. that can be safely loaded to lower velocities, or real black. If shooting out of a conversion cylinder, I'd recommend some other powder, as the starting load velocity alone is past the high end of what that softer steel black powder barrel can handle; as well as the twist rate not being particularly suited to high velocity heavy bullets. Though I personally would recommend sticking to real black for those anyway, and with that large case stuffed with 2f. CFE-P is pretty handy in modern rounds, too, so one powder can do it all. Especially with powder becoming expensive and hard to find in my area, that's a big plus.

I've found it to be a little dirty when not pushing it. I've had less than stellar results running CFEP in 44spl. Probably not the best powder choice but I've got a bunch of it and these days, sometimes all you can do is with what you already have.

@meesterp Год назад

Ripped cases apart with in-spec loads. I may try again with minimum load (5.9gr 40SW Xtreme copper plated bullet or some powder coated). Blew the extractor off a 40 Beretta. Ripped cases in half in a CMMG Resolute. Blew chamber off a Hi-Point carbine. I want to run Limited Major with an HK P30L or a Beretta 90-Two in 40. I will try one more time to see if the minimum load will survive. I wanted the hotter load; 6.5 under 180, for the occasional 200 yd stages with my CMMG Resolute but the radial delayed blowback may not be usable with this powder. I keep the ripped apart cases as a reminder in the box of mid and barely full power loads that are marked Do Not Use - Too Hot. I haven't pulled those loads of part in case Hornady ever wants to review my loads.

We use 5.5 gn of CFE pistol with 115gn plated X-Treme projectiles for our 9mm CZ Shadow II & TSO handguns. It leaves a lot of soot on the cases. Any idea why? We have a Dillon 550b with Dillon dies. The powder meters perfectly.

Great video. How does the CFE Pistol compare to Power zpistol?

How much can it push on 10mm with solid copper 150gr tip?

Anyone know what the copper fouling eraser is exactly? How it works chemically?

I regularly use Titegroup for 9mm, 40 S&W, and 45 ACP, but if I see this around I’ll give it a try too, looks promising

@harrycallahan692 2 года назад

Just because it says "Titegroup" doesn't mean it produces a tighter group. Yes...I've used it. Not that impressed.

@johnisgoodjohnisgreat5449 2 года назад

@@harrycallahan692 It’s worked great for me! I agree though plus pistol is pretty limited with accuracy (compared to like bench rest PRS stuff)… Titegroup is on the dirty side though but I’m just making plinking ammo so my family and I can still enjoy the range… if I see some CFE Pistol around I’ll give it a try I use CFE 223 and love it so I’m a fan of their CFE line of powders

I normally use Titegroup for 9mm and .40. But I just found some CFE Pistol going it try it in 9, .40, and .44 Special.

@@johnisgoodjohnisgreat5449 OK, Titegroup has been off the shelf at my local reloading supply for a couple of years now. I am having to look at other powder options. I may try the CFE 223 at some point as well.

What about Alliant bullseye powder?

@leeglidewell1473 2 года назад

Love y'all's channel and I've never seen anything more informative. Y'all's knowledge/research is on par with anything else out there! My question has to do with the possibility of a new video. There are ads for an ammunition manufacturer making cartridges with two-piece stainless steel cases and monolithic copper bullets. Available in 5.56 NATO, 300 BLK, 380 Auto and 9mm Luger. Can y'all verify if these are 'reloadable'? If so, what's it going to require? Thanks y'all. Shoot straight and as often as possible. Giddy up.

@codyandrus4441 2 года назад

Are you referring to the shell shock cases?

@leeglidewell1473 2 года назад

@@codyandrus4441 no sir, don't think so. I was hesitant to name the manufacturer. Y'all can check page 15 of the April issue of American Rifleman.

I have heard that CFE 223 is the similar to leverevolution but with the anti copper fouling additive. No idea if its true just repeating stuff Ive read on the internet.

@prycenewberg3976 2 года назад

I have a question I hope you won't mind answering. I've read elsewhere online that CFE likes higher pressures (Such as 9mm as opposed to .45 ACP) or it won't burn as cleanly. Do you have any information on this? Have you noticed if the powder is better toward the lower end of its load table or the higher end? Do you have any advice for this powder? Thanks for your videos. I greatly appreciate them.
