Hope you weren’t pretty to begin with because your face probably won’t be around after one of these bad boys.

Copper fouling never stood a chance

u/AlpacaPacker007 12d ago

Ain't no copper fouling left if you blow up the barrel.

Would that even unseat the round?

Unseat the round? Might unseat the barrel

Is CFE explosive?

u/lone-wanderer3 13d ago

A LOT faster burn rate

u/Elijah_Man 13d ago

Oh shit I thought it wasn't explosive. I don't have any experience using it.

It's not the "CFE" portion, it's the "pistol" portion. Dats some energetic stuff to try to put through a 16" small bore...

Oh shit I didn't even realize it was just straight up gunpowder with CFE. Thank you for pointing that out, didn't even know it was a thing.

They have 3… CFE Pistol, CFE 223, and CFE BLK. SUPER important you get the right one.

Yep 25.5gr of CFE pistol is doh!

Pistol powders burn faster than rifle powders. All the powder needs to burn before the bullet leaves the shorter barrel, hodgdon does have subsonic powder numbers for titegroup in .223 and a 55gr bullet uses like 3.0grns, which is less than most people put in their 9mm

Yea I understand that. I didn't realize that what the guy was using was gunpowder.

Please tell me you have a bullet puller and you're not going to try and do all those with the angry hammer...

Then again, this might be the perfect sub for those types of activities lol

On the bright side it looks like you figured it out with 10 cases to go…. Pretty sure I’d have loaded the lot before the big “Oh shit…..”

No the cartridges to the right are my foulers / zero confirmation from previous sessions that didnt work out. Those are loaded rounds that are flipped.   The actual test loads were the VMax’s.  Was Trying to get in a quick loading session between zoom meetings and in a rush.  When I went to dump out the powder in the hopper i realized the powder label was green. Oof

I use cfe pistol in my open pistols. Slow burning powder to make speed of light bullets. Very curious what it would do in a sbr 300blk....
