Is CFE 223 powder temperature sensitive?
CFE 223: This powder had moderately high temperature sensitivity between 64°F and 129°F with 77 grain bullets. However, it showed more stable velocity performance between 34°F and 64°F.
Is AR Comp temperature sensitivity?
IMR 4166 and Varget were the least sensitive powders to temperature-induced bullet velocity changes for 77 grain MatchKing bullets between 34 and 129°F. AR-Comp had the least temperature sensitivity between 68 and 131°F and the smallest standard deviations in velocity.
Is CFE 223 a ball powder?
CFE™223 is a spherical (ball) powder, so it meters well. The new powder will be available in one- and eight-pound containers starting in January, 2012.
Is Varget powder temperature sensitive?
Hodgdon Varget was the second least temperature sensitive powder in this test, with 46 fps of variance in muzzle velocity between temperatures of 25° F and 140° F. IMR 4166 performed very similar to Varget, and proved to be fairly insensitive to large swings in temperature.
Is n540 temperature sensitive?
it IS a bit temp sensitive. You will need a cold weather and a warm weather load.
Is IMR 8208 XBR temperature sensitive?
IMR 8208 XBR is Consistent in All Conditions Lou Murdica, who helped develop this new powder, confirms that it is not temp-sensitive.
What is Hodgdon h335 good for?
This spherical powder originated as a military powder and is perfect for the 5.56 NATO/223 Remington. Multiple applications in the 222 Remington and other varmint cartridges. Prairie dog shooters will find this a favorite, as J.B. Hodgdon has for years!
What is CFE 223 powder used for?
CFE 223 contains our Copper Fouling Eraser ingredient, originally used in military propellant, which greatly deters copper fouling and contributes to longer periods of top accuracy with less barrel cleaning time.
What calibers can use CFE 223?
CFE 223 yields top velocities in many cartridges such as the 204 Ruger, 223 Remington/5.56mm NATO, 22-250 Remington and the 308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO, plus many, many more.
