Hodgdon CFE Pistol Smokeless Gun Powder

Looking for Hodgdon CFE Pistol? This spherical powder was originally developed for US military applications, built around Hodgdon’s CFE formula — Copper Fouling Eraser — which virtually eliminates copper fouling while delivering top velocities, clean burning, and minimal muzzle flash. For competitive shooters and handloaders seeking the perfect powder for target or self-defense loads, Hodgdon CFE Pistol provides optimum performance across a genuinely wide range of applications.

This powder performs exceptionally well in 9mm Luger, .38 Super, .40 S&W, and the venerable .45 ACP, among many others — a real advantage for reloaders who load multiple pistol calibers and want one dependable, low-fouling powder they can count on across the board. As always, never exceed the loads displayed in your reloading guide, never mix two powders regardless of type or brand, and never substitute smokeless powder for black powder or a black powder substitute. For the full official load data, see Hodgdon’s reloading data center.

If you’re loading rifle cartridges instead, our Hodgdon CFE 223 or CFE BLK share the same Copper Fouling Eraser technology in rifle-specific formulations.
