Has anyone used this powder, CFE 223? I was looking at trying it with the dogtown from mid way and the z-max when it comes in. But I would look at other options also.
Thanks

When it comes into my dealer, I will give it a try in the 204,223 and 22-250. Til then, I anyway, can not offer any info on it. I know some have posted that have obtained some.. Like you I am waiting to try it and see what others find out.. BIll K

Win 748 is 1 step faster than BL-C2, CFE 223 is 1 step slower then BL-C2.
Close your eyes, and pick one of the 3.

Always eager to try the latest powder, I bought some from Powder Valley last year.....I've used it so far in my .223 AR, .17 Rem and .257 Roberts.
I haven't run any of it over the chronograph so have no velocity data to report.
I was happy with the accuracy in the .223, but not so much with the .17 and .257.
I'm not suggeting any hard and fast conclusions.....just reporting my so far limited experience.
I remain a lot more excited about the IMR8208.....
