dbletap_ed Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 How consistent is CFE223 Lot to Lot? I purchased a pound of it several years ago and then with the shortages of everything I could not get any more so I went to another power for my 223. Someone else I know started using it and is very happy so I broke out the pound I had and developed some load and am very happy with the results. Now that everything is available again can I expect the load I just came up with to be just as good? BTW what I got the best groups with was 25.1 behind a SMK 69 with a CCI BR4 primer.

StuckinMS Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 That's why I buy in 8lb jugs. You should be good to go though. It seems to be gaining popularity also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emdcksn Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) Very accurate for me behind a 55gr FMJBT 27gr CFE and a CCI 400 out of a Sig516 w/1-7 twist barrel. Better than any XM193 I have shot. Edited February 2, 2018 by emdcksn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinny33 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 FYI CFE223 is GREAT to get HIGH speeds out of a 308. better than H4895, AR-Comp, IMR-4064, TAC, Varget. I get 100fps faster, more accurate, and just overall better metering. I stick to TAC for the 223. Save a few grains with it per round, which helps in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3324temp Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I use it as well but settled on 26.1 with a 55g. At 26.5 I started getting pressure signs. 2750fps out of a 1/8 18”Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
