I am looking to stock up on a good powder to use in my 20 Tactical and .223 Rem. I load on a Dillon 550B so having a powder the meters well is important to me. I shoot 40 grain bullets in the 20 Tactical and 50-75 grain pills in .223 Rem. It sounds like CFE223 should be perfect for the job however I'm a little concerned about its temperature sensitivity. I live in Eastern Washington and shoot in temperatures anywhere from about 25 to 100 degrees through out the year.
Does anyone have any experience with CFE223 in regards to its temperature sensitivity? I know its a fairly new powder so there probably isn't a lot of experience with it. I emailed Hodgdon about it but they didn't really give me any info I hadn't already gotten from reading their website. My second choice for powder is IMR 8208 XBR so if anyone has an opinion on that I welcome it as well. Thanks! |
