Is CFE 223 temp sensitive?

Is CFE 223 temp sensitive?

CFE 223: This powder had moderately high temperature sensitivity between 64°F and 129°F with 77 grain bullets. However, it showed more stable velocity performance between 34°F and 64°F.

Is CFE 223 a ball powder?

CFE223 is a fine-grained spherical powder that incorporates “copper fouling eraser” in its formula.

What type of powder is CFE 223?

CFE 223 contains our Copper Fouling Eraser ingredient, originally used in military propellant, which greatly deters copper fouling and contributes to longer periods of top accuracy with less barrel cleaning time. Being a spherical powder, metering is superbly accurate.

Is Ramshot big game temperature sensitivity?

Most of our powders are not insensitive, and will show some effect at hot and cold temperatures. However, we test at -40F and +125F and the deviation in most cases are ca 3% to 5% at these extreme levels.

What is temperature sensitivity factor?

Temperature Sensitivity Factor: Accounts for changes in muzzle velocity with changes in temperature. Features custom input or general table with commonly used long-range powders.

Who makes CFE powder?

Is Ramshot big game a ball powder?

It’s an extremely clean burning, double-base spherical powder with outstanding metering properties.

What is TAC powder good for?

TAC is a double-base spherical propellant that sets the standard for extreme accuracy and reliability with heavy bullets in the 223 Remington and match applications in 308 Winchester. Excellent flow characteristics ensure consistent metering and charge weights for repeatable results with progressive loading equipment.

What is the most temperature stable rifle powder?

The testers measured the velocity of the powders over a wide temperature range, from 25° F to 140° F. Hodgdon H4350 proved to be the most temp stable of the four powders tested.

Does cold affect gunpowder?

Several months of exposure to high temperatures (above 100 degrees F) can substantially shorten the life and the expected performance of propellant. Cold temperatures have little effect on propellant.

How many grains are in a pound of powder?

Grains are measured in Grams, ounces, and pounds. Remember, there are 7000 grains in 1 lb of gunpowder, whether it is smokeless or black powder. As long as it weighs 1 pound, any type of powder contains the same number of grains, no exception. 1 lb of powder = 458.592 grams.

Why use CFE 223 for metering?

CFE 223 contains our Copper Fouling Eraser ingredient, originally used in military propellant, which greatly deters copper fouling and contributes to longer periods of top accuracy with less barrel cleaning time. Being a spherical powder, metering is superbly accurate.

Did you use Hodgdon’s CFE 223 Ball Powder?

Have you used Hodgdon’s CFE 223 ball powder? CFE stands for Copper Fouling Eraser and is designed to provide greater accuracy for longer periods of time with less cleaning, making it ideal for competition and varmint shooters. It’s also not just for 223!

Is cfe-223 a good cartridge to use?

As you can see below, CFE-223 is in the prime burn rate range for cartridges like 223 Remington and 308 Winchester: *All data is from Hodgdon’s Reloading Data Center. So far I have only used it in my 204 Ruger, although Gavin has used it for 223/5.56, 308 Winchester, and more! Accuracy and velocity are both excellent.

What is the best way to reload a 223?

Reloading 223 Rem./5.56mm is mostly the usual routine. Clean and inspect the cases, lube and full-length resize/decap, clean, and inspect them again. Trim to length as needed, clean/uniform the primer pockets, reprime, charge with powder, verify powder charges, seat bullets to specific overall length, perform final inspection, box, and label.
