Thread: CFE223 & 55 grain .223

I'd say it's a bit too slow. Iirc, it's a tad slower than 2208. In my experience, the slow for calibre ball powders with light bullets burn like coal (which isn't great for consistency or accuracy) right up until you're hitting top pressures. Load them spicy and maybe use a magnum primer. And I still wouldn't expect them to shoot as well as those Targex do.

I would much prefer to just use BM2, 8208, or 2206H.
