While Hodgdon is calling it CFE 223, I'm really liking it for my 22-250. With 50gr bullets, 37gr of CFE 223 will sling them out at better than 100 fps more than 38g of 380 with equal accuracy. Speeds running 3,850-3,900 fps depending on the bullet used from a 26" heavy varmint contour with 1x14 twist.
I'm just using the minimum load from the Hodgdon website at 37gr. I did move it up to just 38gr and got better than 4,000 fps, but didn't really need any more speed than what 37gr gave me. Clean up is easier too.
I couldn't get the velocity they published with CFE 223 in 204 Ruger or 223 Rem, but accuracy was okay. Shoots pretty well in 243 Win as well with the lighter bullets.
Just my experience yours may be different of course.
