This powder was discussed here when it was first announced.

Has anyone had a chance to get their hands on some and try it out. Looking at Hogdgen's reloading data for 45 ACP, this powder blows away all of those that came before.

I've seen it on the shelf...I need to go and grab some to reload my 10mm with.

Thanks for the tip, cory .

I shoot thousands of rounds of 40 S&W every year in my STI pistol. Copper fouling has never been a problem in my pistol. Tite group works best for me especially for the cost and accuracy. If the cost and accuracy is there I would be willing to give it a shot. "No Pun intended".

Montana, I'm, like you, not worried about copper fouling. My interest comes from randomly looking at Hogdgen's Load data. For instance, Hogdgen lists CFE Pistol at 155 fps faster than Titegroup, when comparing max loads.

Be sure to let us know, please. I'm very interested.

any loads for 44mag? its the only caliber I have ever seen copper on. Shooting a 10.5" barrel causes that I guess.
