Anyone try any Hodgdon CFE BLK in their 17 Hornet

[B23]

I see Hodgdon came out with a new powder, not to long ago, called CFE BLK. Looking at the load data on their site for the 17 Hornet it produces pretty good velocity, equal to their Lil Gun powder.

Has anyone tried any in their 17 Hornet yet and if so, how did it work for you???

I just loaded up some test rounds with it for my 17 hornet. Not sure when I'll get out to shoot it though. It's ice fishing season right now.

Keep us posted once you get a chance to shoot some of this through your 17 Hornet.

I finally found a current Hodgdon burn rate chart that lists their new CFE BLK powder and it shows it as one step slower than 1680. Here's a link to the chart.
