Cfe pistol .44 magnum and .357 magnum

[GeoDudeFlorida]

Anyone out there using cfe pistol for mid range loads for .44 and .357? I've tried 12gr cfe .44 mag under a 200gr xtp, cci 300, winchester 3x fired brass, 1.590 coal, SD 16, ES 51, avg 1265. Any experience with CFE loads for these calibers? Groups were ok at 10 yds, 2 inches offhand, probably me flinching a bit. I've been almost exclusively using h110 for these calibers but I'm looking to branch out and try some new powders. Thanks! Happy shooting.

Sorry, I mostly shoot lead in .44 & .357 so I never bothered with copper fouling eliminator powders. But I think you’re on the right track. An interesting test would be to try a magnum vs standard primer over the chrono.

I found it to be quite good in 9mm. It's more accurate than I gave it credit for and works well with an array of bullets from 115 to 147. It's not as good as some with specific bullets, but it's got a wide range of applications. It's as accurate as W231 in my 357 Mag HBWC loads. Of course, those could be pushed with baby powder and still be accurate.

I would have said 7.6 gr of Power Pistol with 158gr bullets but not with the bottle you have.
Not until you get that problem sorted out.

If you get a chance to try some Be-86 In .357 use 7.3 gr with a 158gr bullet. It's a really good load, powder forward or powder back.
Seems inherently accurate.
