Thread: CFE 223 powder and 7mm08

Hi everyone,
was just wondering if someone had some good results with CFE223 powder in a 7mm08 short barrel and light projectiles (Nosler BT 120grain, or Sierra 120grain SP used mainly for goat hunting.
I tried some Nosler 120's (Remington std primers/ Winchester brass) and the velocity went just over 3000fps with 49grain powder (1/2grain below max. according to Hodgdon),- but the load showed some pressure signs and the groups where nothing to write home about.
Best results I had so far is with 48.5grain 1' group at 100yds.& the projectiles seated just off the lands.
Any help/ input much appreciated
