Yep Ojai, should have made that clear. Being I have CFEBLK, CFE223 and CFEPistol I always triple check that I using the correct CFE. Almost grabbed the wrong one onetime and since then I have been paranoid about it.
Can never be to careful, have a friend who has been loading longer than I.
Some years back he completely destroyed a Marlin 444, separated the barrel from the receiver. :o
Thought he loaded Rl#7 but in reality he loaded AA #7, luckily wasn't hurt.
He said from then on only one powder on the bench at a time.

+1 on only 1 powder out at a time.
The reason I asked is I alwa us look in the back of one of my Load Books at the powder burn Rasta chart.
Haven't found the other CFE powders. Always like to compare burn rates. Help or not is up for debate.

I have a couple pounds of the CFE223, it works great in the 308 MX.
Also have a pound of CFE Pistol, but not sure if I have ever tried it in anything yet.
Think I got it to try in the 45 acp .

I use CFE Pistol in my 9mm loads. Works great. No issues.
Meters like water, LOL. Wish all powder went thru the
powder measure that well. :D
I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Got my de-cap pin for my press from Hornady today (no cost). Guess I can start the process now. I've got a bunch of brass just waiting.
