CFE-223 will actually whoop them all. I have used Big Game in mine and Cfe223 is faster than Big game by about 90 fps and ES are more consistant than big game. My gun has a 20" barrel with 120 ttsx I am doing 3230fps. That is the max published load for cfe-223 for all the guys that will ridicule me about being over pressured or over max load. [/quote

Yep, I am .6 grains below max with CFE in my 22" x bolt and getting 3275 fps With the 120 ttsx. Max load on a 85 degree day was 3350 fps. Primers still had rounded edges and no problems with bolt lift or primer pockets.



This is the kind of stuff that makes me skeptical of any "advice" I see on here about little cartridges doing the same things velocity-wise as big ones. Sorry to offend.I'm not buying it.




The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
