If I breakdown one of these days and pass the green for a Chargemaster I'd probably use it again, but till then those ball powders are sure user friendly. Magnum man

I've read about quite a few folks getting good results with RL17 and 180 - 200 grain bullets, but can't find much info on the lighter bullets with that powder. Also, I see the well proven Varget, 4064 and RL 15 very well represented, but what about the newer stuff like CFE223 and 8208 XBR?

Magnum Man Now THAT right THERE was a PUN; thanks for the laugh! I took my buddy's new Stevens 200 w/ 3-9x40mm pro staff to the range today for the first attempt at load work ups running virgin WW cases, RPLR primers, RL15 & 165 gr SSTs. Even with the insufferably looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong trigger, 2 of the 45 gr rounds went into one hole! BEAUTIFUL!! This has been a great thread. Has anyone used CFE w/ 130s or 165s in the 308 yet?

Has anyone used CFE w/ 130s or 165s in the 308 yet? I worked up some loads with the 175 SMK's and CFE 223. In cooler weather I had some great success with 47.1 grains, Nosler brass, and Federal 210M primers. This shot way under MOA at 100 yards. The problem was when the temp got up above 90 degrees. I got presure signs sticky bolt and a chronied 2800+fps out of a 20" Savage. I put the CFE up and moved to Varget.

This includes all that you've mentioned (bullets, seating depth, primers, brass, and powder). One thing you didn't mention is run-out or concentricity which has a huge bearing on accuracy. I think it is funny how you mention hornady interlock btsp as being an inaccurate bullet as many here know that is bs. That further backs up what I was just saying. My 300 wsm regularly shoots hornady interlock btsp into clusters like this: 10 shot group.

I tried 46.5gr RL-15, cci 200, R-P brass, and Barnes ttsx seated at 2.800 Wow definitely made me happy about my wife rifle now. Before I couldn't get that thing to shoot. Just factory ammo.
