Dirty Rod Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 CFE works well in all three of my ARs behind 55gr bullets. Meters well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rback Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 24.2 gr of CFE223 at 2.23OAL with hornady 55gr SP is amazingly accurate out of my 1/7 barrel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodene 5 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 do you happen to know how fast it is going ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rback Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I haven't chronoed it yet, but it should be pretty slow. I'm loading it for short range practice rounds, but found out how well it grouped when zeroing my rifle and shot a few groups to confirm. Shoots better than other rounds I have tried in this rifle: 69, 77gr SMK and 75gr Hornady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighCountryStalker Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 27.1 gr CFE223, 2.23 COAL, 55gr FMJ or JHP or JSP all shot sub MOA out of 16" 1/7, 1/8, 1/9 guns of mine. Chrono 2925 fps out of the 16" barrels. Load data indicated this would be approximately 9% less than the longer barrel which was dead on. Excellent metering is a huge bonus.

JerZSquid Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 My go to load is with CFE-223 27.5 gr with a 52gr SMK Work it up and I'm sure it will do just as fine with a 55gr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
