[QUOTE="Curramore, post: 2874886, member: 96492"] I have used Hodgden CFE 223 for a couple of years in .308win in winter conditions here at 30-75 degrees F. On a recent summer outing had a major overpressure event at 115 degrees F where I experienced a serious bolt jam from overpressure. Killed the pig dead, but my first OP session in 50 years. I Chronied the rounds later in the day after I cooled them to 90 F and was back in business. I now run our ADI AR2208 powder which you sell as Varget which is much safer at our summer temps. CFE223 is no longer available to buy in this country due to no current Winchester agent in this country and also to our Nanny state legislations and associated regulations. It is a good powder at the right temperature range. [/QUOTE]
