Hodgdon CFE 223 smokeless gun powder canister for AR-platform rifle reloading

Product Description

Built to Fight Copper Fouling

Hodgdon developed CFE 223 to solve a real problem AR-platform shooters face: copper fouling buildup. This spherical powder includes Copper Fouling Eraser technology, which actively reduces copper deposits in your barrel as you shoot. As a result, you spend less time cleaning and more time behind the trigger.

Purpose-Built for .223 and AR Platforms

While CFE 223 works well across various cartridges, Hodgdon designed it specifically with .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO in mind. Because it’s a spherical powder, it meters smoothly and consistently through progressive reloading presses, making it a practical choice for high-volume AR shooters who load large batches.

Clean Shooting, Consistent Results

CFE 223 delivers consistent velocities alongside its fouling-reducing properties. In addition, many reloaders report noticeably less copper buildup after extended shooting sessions compared to standard powders. This combination of performance and reduced maintenance has made CFE 223 a popular choice among AR-15 owners and varmint hunters alike.
