Hodgdon CFE BLK

Hodgdon CFE BLK

Hodgdon CFE BLK is a spherical rifle powder specifically developed for the .300 AAC Blackout cartridge. It offers reloaders a clean-burning, consistent option that delivers exceptional performance across a variety of bullet weights. As part of Hodgdon’s CFE (Copper Fouling Eraser) line, this powder is engineered to reduce copper fouling in the bore, allowing for extended accuracy between cleanings and simplifying firearm maintenance. CFE BLK’s reliable metering properties and consistent ignition make it an excellent choice for both subsonic and supersonic .300 Blackout loads.

Designed for modern sporting rifles, Hodgdon CFE BLK supports full cycling in gas-operated systems, even with subsonic ammunition. Its burn characteristics make it ideal for suppressed shooting, where clean operation and minimal residue are essential. While it was purpose-built for the .300 Blackout, Hodgdon CFE BLK also performs admirably in several smaller-capacity cartridges. It delivers excellent velocity and uniformity in calibers such as 17 Hornet, 17 Ackley Hornet, .218 Bee, and .221 Fireball, making it versatile for varmint and small game applications.

Hodgdon CFE BLK also shines in intermediate cartridges like the 6.8 Remington SPC and the 7.62x39mm. These applications benefit from the powder’s clean-burning performance, smooth metering, and excellent charge consistency. Whether you’re working with bolt-action or semi-automatic platforms, Hodgdon CFE BLK provides the accuracy and dependability serious shooters demand.

One of the defining features of this powder is the inclusion of the Copper Fouling Eraser compound, a technology originally used in military-grade propellants. This additive helps reduce bore fouling, extending shooting sessions and minimizing maintenance. Shooters looking for both performance and efficiency will find Hodgdon CFE BLK to be a reliable and easy-to-use solution that improves time on target and reduces time on the bench.

With its spherical grain structure, Hodgdon CFE BLK meters exceptionally well through progressive presses, providing uniform powder charges with minimal variation. This makes it a favorite for volume reloaders looking to streamline the reloading process without sacrificing precision. The burn rate is optimized for efficient pressure generation in short-barreled rifles, further enhancing its compatibility with compact and suppressed firearm builds.

Hodgdon CFE BLK is available in 1 lb. and 8 lb. containers.
