    Greetings Joelhenton, I don't have any data for CFE223 but it may be a little fast for this application. The belief that you need a faster powder for shorter barrels is a bit of a fable although...

    Just don’t give it to puffin to review, you will know more about it than you thought possible, but may never get to use it.

    WallyR liked post by Moa Hunter On thread : Accuracy at 100 vs 600 (example). Variations in accuracy at different ranges
    Yes the military are the ones who really know this stuff and how to predict it. So in essence, a group that is dead on at 100 might strike left or right at 600. I understand it that if someone wants...

    WallyR liked post by timattalon On thread : Accuracy at 100 vs 600 (example). Variations in accuracy at different ranges
    My understanding of the lighter lower / heavier higher was as the barrel lifts in angle with recoil, the lighter bullet is out of the muzzle faster and the heavier one is in the barrel fractionally...
