In the Noslar #9 manual CFE223 is good for the 50-53 gr projectiles. A max load of 40 grs should see 3971 fps out of a 24 inch barrel, a 20 inch barrel maybe 3850 fps. Still getting along at a fare pace.
In my 24 inch Mod 700 22-250 I get 3587 fps using 55 gr Noslar BT using either 36 grs AR2208 or 40 grs Staball 6.5. The 55 gr BT bullets work well on Fallow and goats and on the few reds I have shot with it. I took it down south a couple of years back and shot wallabies and rabbits out to just on 400 yards. It’s a neat calibre.
