Which bullet are you planning to load? Sierra lists some loads with CFE 223 for 22-250. I haven't loaded that powder for a number of years, but it seemed to work fine in my AR.

Shot more sub 1" 3 shot groups at 1k with this powder than any other.
I really want to try it in 223 and 308 but can't find it .

What caliber?
also, just to confirm, you said,"sub 1inch 3 shot groups at 1000 yards"?

From the looks of things it might be better in my 308

do you have any loading data for it
I started working up loads for my RRA Coyote AR and was getting 1/2" MOA with 25.5 grs of CFE 223. Never finished with more loads due satisfied with thoses results and to using H4895 for a long time with real good results. Going to try CFE 223 in 6mm BR since I can't find Varget anywhere.

Sub 1" 3 shot @ 1000? Did you mean sub 1 moa? Pretty sure this was just a typo, we've all done it. Sub 1 moa would still be impressive.

To be quite perfectly clear, I was not questioning Alex's integrity. I just wanted to know what he really meant by what he wrote. The tone seemed to tell me he was impressed with the group size but what was the actual group? Or heck knowing Alex's capability and experience, maybe it is 1 inch.
