[QUOTE="kiwikid, post: 1631640, member: 56094"] Some years ago (2014) I tried CFE in my Carl Gustaf 9000 22-250 with a new PacNor barrel. I had no joy with it at all. I was shooting Sierra 55gr GK bullets. I hit pressure signs at 38 grains although Hodgdon listed 39 grains as max with a 55 grain bullet at the time. With 37 grains my 5 shot groups at 100m were around .75" with an average velocity of 3563 fps but an extreme spread of 110 fps in Lapua brass and Fed 210 M. In the end I went back to IMR 4895 and the groups shrunk to .410". [/QUOTE]
