I know CFE means copper fouling eraser, but I'm curious to know if this powder has any less of an effect as far as carbon, soot and crud build up on a gas gun ran with a suppressor compared to other common powders. I understand powder is still burning so there will be crud blowing back. I imagine it doesnt, but im interested to hear anyones experience.

I reckon #2 will be good for

1,400 subsonic rounds at 10 grains a pop!

That should be equally impressive with a 458 socom and 500gr bullets.

Curious why you say "awesome results" multiple times in the video. Five shot ES of 75 and SD of 29...personally I'd be a bit let down with that for a sub load.

What kind of case fill do you get with 12 grains?

Should be about 2/3 case volume give or take, maybe more. I'm not sure what the 200gr pill occupies.

SD of 29 might seem high, but if this powder is meant for saving money with lower charges then that level of accuracy might be acceptable to the end user. What I found impressive with the video was the lack of smoke and the perfect function of the gas system. It's also very quiet for not being a bolt gun.


12gr getting 200gr up to speed in the 300blk means that 24gr should get 400gr up in the 458, and 500gr should be achievable with 35 - which happens to be a full case with a heavy pill in the 458S. Sure, guys are already doing it with 12gr of Trailboss, but they're also getting detonation from light charges and that stuff is filthy.

Because words like ho hum and 3 MOA won't keep the sponsors happy. :mrgreen:
300 Blackout, not just for sub-sonics.
