Hodgdon CFE BLK?

Post by TobyJ »

Sorry if this has been discussed before...I tried to search the forums, but since neither CFE or BLK are words, it won't let me.

Is this a new Blackout powder? I was looking at loads on the Hodgdon site, and CFE BLK came up as a choice for 208gr sub loads.

According to the data, 11.6gr under a 208gr amax in a 16in barrel with a COL of 2.26 should make 1041 fps, and generate 13,400 PSI.

I did a quick Google search, and didn't come up with anything on a CFE BLK offering, nor did I find anything on the hodgdon site. They do have a CFE 223, which made me think maybe this was a new 300BLK specific powder.

Anyone have any info?

Just looked at their site. Sure as heck has load data saying CFE BLK but if you look at all their powders it's not listed. Some things remain a mystery.

I sure hope so, CFE Pistol worked pretty good suppressed in my 9mm, almost as clean as N320.

I'm also pretty sure that CFE BLK wasn't there a couple of days ago...

Just found this too, I'm going to call my local supplier today and get the facts.
Hodgdon measures an insane decrease in case pressure for a negligible loss in V
Can this be true? Is this just CFE pistol? Got to know.

As Robert suggested, A Google search came up with this.

Maybe I am mistaken but it seems to have just been TM'd.

someone must have oops'ed and added the wrong data in and potentially spoiled a forthcoming marketing surprise.

I have a good story about oops'es and marketing surprises, but I can't tell anyone yet ! :mrgreen:

You prolly didn't notice, but most of a thread over on the PM website was deleted, and edited cause I was accidentally sent something I shouldn't have received, :shock: and made several posts on this product. OOPS. I was quickly asked to remove the pics and info, and I'm in the process of being rewarded handsomely. 8)

New thread about this is upcoming.

Sorry for the derail.
