I had terrible results with CFE223, my 243win. 26inch barrel 1 in 8 twist, with a 75g Hornady vmax. I was wondering if anyone else had tried CFE223 with a 243win?
I had sds of 140, es of several hundred, not good groups, 100 yds, and strange
bolt feelings when I pulled the trigger, it felt like the bolt jumped, before the round went off, the test was 34g to 37g, and it was all bad! It seems to me, from this experience, I should not do CFE223 again with anything over 58g vmax with my 243. I have no idea what went wrong. Cartridges were only about half full.
I got the info from the hodgdon website.
