Does anyone have any experience with this powder? Stopped into a local store tonight and they just got a shipment of it in. Grabbed a couple of pounds, but if anyone has any good experience with it I will head back tomorrow for a couple more.
I'm loading 9mm. Another newb question is, the load data I had for it shows an OAL of 1.090 with Sie FMJ 125gr. I loaded up a few rounds with Hornady 124gr FMJ but went with an OAL 1.135....1.090 seems deep??

Thanks
 
If it's anything like their CFE223 for rifle loads then it's copper fouling "erasing" ability is minimal at best.
Rifles that didn't copper foul much at all normally sometimes stop completely but those that fouled badly before (like my .308) have minimal reduction.
 
with regards to your second question, the 2 different bullets have different shapes and thus different OAL. i assume 1.135" cycles in your gun just fine?

oal, like powder charges are a general guide line. some guns like short OAL, some like long it all depends.

No experience yet but I'll be getting a few pounds when my order comes in next week. I might not get a chance to work-up some loads as fast as I'de like (young kids) but I'll post results and impressions when I get around to it.
