Hodgdon CFE 223 Smokeless Gun Powder

Looking for Hodgdon CFE 223? Introduced by Hodgdon in January 2012, this revolutionary spherical powder was developed as a copper fouling deterrent, incorporating CFE — Copper Fouling Eraser — an ingredient initially developed for military use. The result is a powder that produces longer periods of consistent accuracy with less barrel cleaning required, ideal for Match, Varmint, and AR shooters alike.

Hodgdon CFE 223 performs exceptionally well across popular cartridges like .223 Remington, .22-250 Remington, and .308 Winchester — a real advantage for high-volume AR shooters who want fewer cleaning sessions between range trips without sacrificing accuracy. 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 for .300 AAC Blackout instead, our Hodgdon CFE BLK shares the same Copper Fouling Eraser technology in a caliber-specific formulation.
