Most onboard know how hard it has been to locate pistol powders (at least here) for quite awhile now and I'd venture to say that some of us have had to switch to "what's available"......not that I'm completely out of anything but I'm refering mainly to my old stanbys like 2400, Unique, W231, HP38, W296 and H110.
Well Friday I received a tip from a fella I know at my LGS that they had just received a quanity of Hodgdons new CFE Pistol powder in both one and eight pound jugs and after looking at the data available on the Hodgdons web site it appeared that it can be used in my most reloadable handgun rounds and in the bullets I normally use........38 Spl., .357 Mag, 44 Spl., 44 Mag. and 45 ACP.
The old saying is, "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush" so yesterday I went ahead and picked up nine pounds, one eight pound jug and a one pounder (to pour into later) for $195.05 OTD which comes to $21.67 per pound OTD.
Now that I've got nine pounds of it on hand I sure hope this stuff works well.
