I tried several powders with that 200gr AB, including CFE, trying to get to 2900 fps with accuracy. I got the velocity with CFE, but not the accuracy. My results were FAR away from Nosler's load data. Turned out that H4895 was my powder. I got to 2950 with no pressure signs, but the load producing 2910 was more accurate with less velocity variance. I've not killed anything with it yet, but it may end up getting slung at a bear or an elk this year.
Do you have handy the charge weights where you found the accuracy node? H5895 was another powder I was considering to use for working up a load.
Frankly, I’ll take accuracy over speed for my application. I’d love to have both of course, and CFE223 is such an easy metering, ckean but ing powder does it would be ideal. But if I can’t get the accuracy I want, I’ll move on.
