Worked up some sho nuff max loads in my 8x57 and 8x60, got awesome velocity with 180, 150 and 200 gr. bullets..suggest giving it a try..I don't quote grs. and velocity, but it sure is worth your time and effort..Add 5% to from the 8x57 max loads to the 8x60 worked for me..The velocity got beyond what Ive used in the past and I just figured it has to be max, but not one indication of it, miked cases for expansion and none, primers look good, no sticky bolt, not one loose primer, Used my chronographs..amazing what I got..Before I quote my loads somebody else has to give it a try for max and post your results..

Thanks for the info ray! There is some impressive CFE-223 Data out there for the 9.3x62, as well.

Good for the 35 Whelen as well.

I been using it in my 30X57 for a couple of years with 165gr bullets.
it'll run up into the obnoxious recoil level with good case life if I anneal the necks every 4 loads.
I'm not a fan of obnoxious recoil.

I've never been able to get really good velocities from any of my .308's until trying CFE223. Excellent accuracy, also. I haven't found great performance from it in the centerfire .22's it is marketed for, but the medium bores seem to do extraordinarily well with it.

Ive not tried it in the 222 etc, but really don't need to. Nothing is going to improve 335 and 322 on the 222 or my 6x45..that would be impossible, well almost, but not enough to waste my time!!
