Took a look early this afternoon.

It's GONE!

If you needed pistol powder, I hope you were able to get some of this!

Snagged some CFE Pistol, am new to reloading...loaded my first 20 rounds (115gr 9mm FMJ) this week and will test them out tomorrow.. Any opinions on CFE pistol?

It's OK. I had a couple pounds that I've since used up. The attached pdf is the results of some chronographing I did. You'll find a thread covering this here from sometime in Sept 2014.
All my reloading is with cast lead. I found that loads fired in my revolvers (.38 Spec. and .45 ACP) were quite dirty. Semi autos not so much in the slides but bores were dirtier than usual.

Velocities are in line with other powders like A #5, the powder metered well through my Dillon Powder Measure.

Hodgdon touts this as a "new" powder like new in 2014, but, the cans I had had a 2009 date one them do me a favor and see what the date is on yours. It should be on a little sticker on the side of the bottle along with a lot number.
