On a Friday afternoon stop @ the LGS, I was fortunate to find 1# of the new CFE Pistol powder.
I was interested in trying CFE & BE-86; as this is the only one available now, here we go
The powder metered well through my Lee Auto-Disk and each charge was within .2g after 10 throws for initial check, weighing each on the electronic scale.
Additionally, I individually weighed each charge for this test. CFE Pistol has about one-third of the static cling compared to Titegroup in the hopper.
Five rounds for each through the work-up progression. Glock 19 unsupported @ 7 yards w/ irons.

No problems cycling the slide with the starting minimum load ~ mild recoil. The Hodgdon Reloading Center had a recipe for the Berry's HBRN-TP 124g specific to this bullet @ www.hodgdon.com.

5.1g of CFE Pistol worked the best out of my G19. Moderate recoil with a solid feel that was comfortable.

This one was probably my error more so than the load. 5.3g felt fine ~ moderate recoil. Barrel was clean and spent brass had minimal carbon residue. I like it for 9MM Luger.
