Description
Hodgdon CFE Pistol is an 8-pound jug of clean-burning, copper-fouling eroding powder made for high-volume pistol shooters. It’s built for consistent metering and reliable performance across 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. We’ve stocked this since early 2024, and it’s one our repeat customers keep coming back for. If you’re loading for the weekend range trip, this is the workhorse powder you want on the bench.
What Makes It Stand Out
- Copper Fouling Eraser (CFE): The proprietary additive helps reduce copper buildup in your barrel, meaning less cleaning and more consistent shooting over long sessions.
- Extremely Clean Burn: Leaves minimal residue in your pistol, so you spend less time scrubbing and more time shooting.
- Superb Metering: Its fine, spherical granulation flows like water through a powder measure, giving you consistent throws shot after shot.
- Wide Application Range: A versatile choice for popular calibers like 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and even some .38 Special loads.
- Stable & Consistent: Hodgdon’s quality control ensures lot-to-lot uniformity, so your tested loads stay reliable.

Common Questions
What’s the main advantage of the CFE additive?
The CFE additive is designed to reduce and remove copper fouling from your barrel as you shoot. This helps maintain accuracy over long strings of fire and can cut down on cleaning time.
Is this suitable for beginners in reloading?
Yes. Its excellent metering characteristics make it forgiving and easy to work with. Always start with published minimum loads from a Hodgdon reloading manual and work up safely.
Why do you sell more of this on weekends?
Our staff sees a clear pattern: folks come in after a Saturday at the range, having burned through their ammo. They grab this 8lb jug to replenish their supplies for the next trip. It’s a staple for high-volume practice.
