Hodgdon CFE Pistol Powder

[Reloadingman]

I'm thinking of buying some of this powder and I've never used it. I load 9mm 38spec 357 mag 44 mag and 45acp...I normally use HP38, Titegroup and Unique but I thought I give this a try.....any users out there with opinions?

I've used the rifle version, clean as heck

I'm currently using this powder, but there's very little data on it. I've used 'averages' of other powders for the same caliber. It's VERY clean burning, last time I only had to run 3 patches to clean the barrel. I've also used HP38, and it has a much larger muzzle flash than CFE.
Also had a thread about this powder here - http://www.theoutdoorstrader.com/threads/hodgdon-cfe-pistol.1076516/

Thanks for the input.

The Hodgdon reloading supplement that they put out every year has newer load data for it. We should start seeing more data each year.

I think I order some and give it a try.
