My LGS has been running low on all reloading components and specifically powder. I usually use W231 for 45acp, 38sp and 357 mag. He got some of the Hodgdon CFE and I bought a can to load some range ammo. I haven't started yet, figured I'd ask you guys if anyone has used it. How does it compare to W231? I am told it burns clean, meters smoothly and can produce loads in the performance range of the W231. Any info is appreciated.
One way or another I will load some rounds, vary from recommended start load to about 3/4 max load and find out for myself. I'll come back with my observations.
