CFE Pistol

[Alderman]

I found a pound of CFE Pistol at the local gun shop and loaded up some 9mm rounds with Nosler 115 grain JHPs.

I haven't had a chance to do any shooting with these but just want to say this powder did well metering out of the Lee autodisk measure.

I'd read somewhere that this powder was so fine it leaked out of the autodisk measure.
I was pleasantly surprised to find this wasn't the case with my measure.

I had a chance to pop off a few with the Beretta to see if they would go bang. OAL 1.115 cycled fine with this pistol.
I'm not good with a pistol but it did punch some holes in the paper. I didn't notice the muzzle flash as I did with Power Pistol.

I have a pound on my shelf, but I haven't used it yet. I plan to try it in 45 ACP.

I have used it in my 40 S&W with 180g and 155g Berrys FP. It is very accurate with both bullets and gives good velocity. I have also used it in 38 special +P 125g JHP and in 357 Mag with 158g FP. Both are accurate and the 357 load is a good mild load for my 3" barrel S&W. I use a RCBS Little Dandy powder measurer and it works great.

DrMike, it gives very good velocity in the 45 ACP as well, I think you will like it.
