How many grns of RE16 did you squeeze in with the 140BTs? I’m about to load up some for my 16inch Kimber and was going to try RE16 or Belmont760 that I have for the 284 Win seeing as it’s there already

CFE223 works well in short 708 barrels too mate, with 120 or 140s

Hi Forestry,

I load Hornady 162gr ELD-M with CFE223 in my 16inch Kimber Montana. I'm happy with the combination.
