Hodgdon CFE223 powder???

[CDH]

Anyone tried this? How is it's accuracy in 223/5.56 loads and does the fouling reduction live up to claims?

I finally got an AR built and the only powder I have really suitable is H4895...and it doesn't meter well, bridging constantly in the small case.

According to the Hodgdon site, it hasn't been introduced yet:

Introduced in January 2012...

I use Vihtavuori N135, IMR 3031, and Ramshot TAC, depending on the application.

Just took a look at their data for .223, and boy does it look nice. Max load with a 55-grainer looks to push along at 3329 fps. They have load data for my hunting bullet, a 70 grain SP from Speer, and their published data shows 2900 fps at the top end of the data. That's likely with a 24" barrel, but that beats the data for anything else I've got.

I'll definitely have to give this stuff a try.
