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.
In what way was the performance lacking? Cuz I'm thinking of starting with H-4895, which I know is close but not identical.
