Title: Looking for pistol powder?
Post by: No Mas on September 07, 2014, 11:54:42 AM

J Hara in Kaimuki got a new one in stock.  Do others a favor and don't buy their whole inventory.  Just saying.....

Stopped by during my lunch break and picked up a pound of CFE Pistol. Thanks for the heads-up. They have a couple pounds still left.

===========
Picked up a couple pounds a few weeks ago.
I just ran some quick tests today on CFE trying to simulate HPD Gold Dot duty ammo. It looks promising.
I almost got the speed right and accuracy looked pretty good. Will tell more once I get it all dialed in.
For 9mm, this stuff seems ideal. I dunno about 45acp tho...
Seems a bit slow burning for 45acp. Unless you are trying to make factory ball-type ammo or Hi-Speed light hollow points.
