I have found that 40.7 grains of IMR 8208 gives me .5 @100, 1.5 @200 and 2-2.5 @300. These are very consistent groups. Rifle is an M70 243 rebored by JES. Oh using 210 partitions. | |||

Anyone shooting CFE-223 in the .338 Federal? Seems it might be good for this round. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J. Lane Easter, DVM A born Texan has instilled in his system a mind-set of no retreat or no surrender. I wish everyone the world over had the dominating spirit that motivates Texans.– Billy Clayton, Speaker of the Texas House No state commands such fierce pride and loyalty.

This is a very useful cartridge that deserves more attention. Lane, I'll keep an eye out for CFE-223 data. There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||
