I've used it in my 22/250 and 7mm/08. Does a good job with 50-55 gr bullets in my 22/250 and decent job in my 7mm/08 with 168 gr bullets. There are better powders for these calibers, but it is certainly worth a try.

Thanks for that, a friend is working up some loads in quickload for me. The problem we now have in the UK is getting out of the Eu before any more daft laws are imposed. They have banned most US made propellants for causing cancer and are looking at strangling shooting by any means.
The up side is no magazine limits at the moment and unlimited use of sound moderators!
 
This powder works great in my .204 with 39gr blitz kings and I’m my 22-250 with 50gr vmax
Also work great in my 308 with former owners load and 165 sst’s.
I wish it would’ve worked I’m my 220 swift but it just burns to fast from what info I have found on the subject.
But so far a terrific powder
 
Cfe223 is my go to powder for my ARs in 223 shooting 55gr campro fmjbt over 26gr cfe223 best part is how beautifully it meters through the Dillon powder throw on the 650xl
Look forward to comparing it to 4895 and bl-c2 under hornady 308 147gr fmjbt pills in my bcl102
 
I've been meaning to pick up some of the pistol powder equivalent, supposedly it cleans your gun for you with each shot. It's not expensive either.
 
Just looking through my reloading records last night and I realize that I had also used CFE223 for load .308 load development when I had an XCR a few years ago. It worked out very well with 147 grain Campro bullets. Accuracy was amongst the best of anything I tried - even better than my stand-by H4895 loads.

Did it load grain for grain or is it a different burning rate?
