Thread: CFE 223

55g vmax and 50g gmx, I think that was the Hornady one.
Was wicked on reds with the copper mono

So if CFE223 is dirty, varget/2208 is not ideal for .223 55gr pills and 2206h seems impossible to find, what are people using with relative success?
Just trying to get an idea on what to search for.

Try H322/AR2219 or H335. H322 possibly still holds the most bench rest records.

How is the cfe 223 on the heavier pils in a 223 varmint . Hornady 62g sp and sierra 69 matchking

Why does dirty matter? They are all dirty to a degree. I use CFE223 in my 7-08 with 120 grn and its damned good.

The advantage of CFE is that it doesn't copper so much.

@Tahr i guess it doesn't matter so much. I use the .223 culling, so may put through 200-300 rounds through it in a weekend. I would just like to know that bore/suppressor is remaining as clean as possible throughout that time until I get back into civilization

Gunworks has 2208 and 2206h in stock

Just take a pull through. Who cares if it is dirty. CFE 223 is perfectly fine, as is varget/2208, as is benchmark 2.
I do pest control also and often run a pull through through on any given run for the .17hmr, .22mag and .223.
As for the suppressor, never cleaned one in my life.

As @TLB said, never cleaned a suppressor yet. They work better with carbon buildup anyway. Change suppressor when you change barrel or rifle. These days just use whatever powder works and you can get.

Magic powder. Lovely velocity and measures so well. 748 with triple deuce; BM2 with 223; 2209 with 243 though RL 17 is amazing etc.

Vitivouri N130 going well with 55g hornadies SP, 100% powder burn good for shorter barrels & suppressors.
