I just finished my CFE223 charge ladders and ended up with 31.6 grains for the 123 grain SST. 31.9 showed good accuracy but I backed off, could be too hot once the temps get up about 85. Sounds like 31.4 to 31.9 would show promise in most guns.Last edited by Jakal; 04-07-2015, 06:10 PM.""Come taste my Shillelagh you goat-eatin bastard!""

Thanks for the load data , Bwaits , I finally have some 123's coming my way, both A-Max's and SST's, and am eager to start playing at the bench .MOLON LABE~PERCUSSA RESURGO

This happens mostly with older bullets conceived for 6.5 rifles like the 6.5x55, .260, etc. They often have a more rounded ogive shape, unlike the more streamlined VLD or Hybrid ogives common now. The 6.5x55 was built before spitzer bullets became common, so it has a very long throat in comparison to modern rifles.

Any time I'm working with a new bullet, I find out what's going on with the relationship between my chamber's throat and the bullet ogive before determining what my COL will be.

I hope to learn from the great information provided here and, just maybe be able to add some also. Thank you all in advance for the opportunity to be a part of this community.

I loaded mine with 32 grs of CFE with 123 SST and 34 grs of CFE with the 100 grain AMAX and 95 Grain VMAX, they work great, are accurate, and show no pressure signs at all. I haven't had a chance to do an OCW yet or adjust COAL but even without doing that they are MOA loads in my rifle.

with the 100gr AMAX out of a 22inch Lilja AR24 barrel I am running around 2950 on the Chrono. I haven't shot any of the 95 VMAX over a Chrono yet. The loads came from Bwild 97. If I remember correctly he was getting 3000 fps with a 24 inch barrel. I worked up to these loads in .3 grain steps from 30.8 and 32.8 respectively.
