CFE 223 carbon deposits?

[DadSmith]

I had a conversation with a fellow shooter the other day at the range. He was telling me he stopped using CFE 223 because it fouled up and clogged his gas port really fast on his AR 15. He said it was very dirty power.

Has anyone experienced anything like this while using CFE 223 in their AR 15's or AR 10's?

I doubt his problem is with powder.

I'm trying some CFE right now and I'm not impressed with the accuracy, and it does seem smoky but the other night the humidity was up and the wind was down so anything would have left a haze in front of me

I have used cfe 223 in the past, not my go to powder, ran a couple pounds , accuracy was ok, didn't notice any more fouling than 335, I did set my bullets a hair deeper than usually called for to help with accuracy just a slight pressure increase gave me about 50 fps more! Just wondering if he is get a complete burn or using a short barrel or silencer???

What I seen him shooting he had a 16" barrel and no suppressor.

I've been using it for quite awhile, it burns cleaner with near max loads. Never had a carbon fouling problem.
