Hodgkins CFE Pistol for reloading

Decided to start reloading 9x18mm Makarov about a month ago and have gathered everything I need with the exception of powder.

My LGS is woefully short on choices for pistol so what I have on hand now is Hodgkins CFE Pistol and Longshot. Has anyone found information regarding whether you can use either of these??? If not what should I try to get.?

I posted this is question on th Hodgkins reloading data site twice and they don't respond.

Thanks for any help
Dan

go to http://ammoguide.com

a paid subscription is fairly cheap for all the info you get.

Thanks for the reply.
I actually went the subscription route a few days before actech suggested it., also found some Power Pistol powder and just loaded a small batch tonight.

I'll see how they shot in the next few days.
