Re: Hodgdon CFEBLK Powder

I still find it very odd that the only single powder you could make work was 4227 . CW The only powder that would cycle Lehigh Defense 168 gr. CF's subsonic loads in my 300 BLK rifle 16" barrel with a pistol length gas system unsuppressed. Well... yeah, no kidding. Did you think to try heavy s...

Re: Hodgdon CFEBLK Powder

I always found what I considered excessive unburned yellow kernels from 2400 & 4227 in my 357 Herrett years ago. Adjusting the neck tension and applications of a firmer crimp, did help some, but eventually I just switched powders. I still find it very odd that the only single powder you could m...

There are plenty of stories floating around the net about what can happen when you chamber a 300 BLK round in your 223/5.56 chamber.
