Hi guys my first post in this forum...I have been loading my 8x57's with IMR4895 and have it on hand. I started reloading for my Sport in .223rem, Hodgdon's reloading data said I could use it with the 55grain and 69 grain (I have hornady 68grain BTHP Match). I wasnt very happy with the performance. Yesterday I picked up 2 pounds of CFE223 and going to start loading with it tonight. Are there any particulars that I should look out for? How has it performed for any of you who use it? Thanks Alot.
