Guys, great news! Just picked up the new Hornady load manual (9th Ed.) and it lists load data for CFE223 in all three bullet weight classes! Not to mention a listed max with the 123 grainers of 2500fps out of an 18" barrel. I'd be happy to share charge weights if anyone's interested. Happy shooting!

Hodgdons has produced a similar head scratcher in the 6.5mm BR using CFE223 and 142g SMKs. Notice how the max charge of CFE223 is nearly 10k CUP under all the others, did they run out of projectiles at this point and figure that was good enough?
