mad1 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi all, Iv just been told the cfe 223 is possibly no longer available.. Any suggestions for a powder for 39g .204 , 40g .223, 58g ,75g, 100g .243 and 168g .308. Obviously 1 powder wont cover everything but even a brand that's going to be around for a long time yet to allow me to work up some loads for each.. Thanks again M1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Reload Swiss Rs50 works well for me under 155 Sierra Matchkings in 308. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancer425 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Not sure about the .204 for best performance but to work across that lot of cals, i think i might be inclined to look at vit N135. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lever357 Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 I have pulled the following information from the excellent Vihtavuori Reloading Guide: 39g 204 - no listing for 39g but powder for 40gn N133, N140, N530 40g .223 - N120,N130, N133 58g .243 - N135 N140 N550 75g .243 - N135 N140 N150 N550 100g .243 - N150 N540 N550 168g - .308 - N140 N150 N550 I use N140 for .308 with 147grain and 155 grain bullets. I note you are in Co Durham - I have an excellent RFD contact who can supply reloading consumables at excellent prices, or can when we have free movement.

cervusman Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 CFE 223 is still available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rapid rich Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 (edited) As above , a lot of Hodgdon powders are unavailable. Cfe 223 is readily available. And an excellent powder it is for your 39 and 40 grain bullets.... Rich Edited April 13, 2020 by rapid rich Spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
