I fired a couple of 250gr Hornady SPs using the same load of 63 grains CFE223. It wasn't run over a chronograph, but was accurate and, as you say, "stiff", but not bad!
Thanks for that info!
Also, thanks to jwp457. I'd guessed it was a little faster, but your tests show much less pressure than a similar load using PP2000MR.
Tomorrow's blog gives an update on my .35 Whelen firing the 225 AccuBonds over 66 grains of CFE 223.
