223 and CFE 223 loads

[NC308]

I’m looking for some 223 Loads using CFE223 and a 60 gr bullet. Does anyone have any pet loads. I’m real familiar with reloading so I know to start low and work up. Just wondering what others have had luck with.

I have not worked with the bullet in that cartridge. I have had some really good results with CFE223 in several calibers, speed and accuracy. I won’t say excellent accuracy in all, but very acceptable, more times than not better than MOA.
I see others that have less then stellar results.

I’m mainly just looking for MOA. Looking for a hunting load for my son bolt gun.

I have worked up loads using 80 to 90gr bullets using several powders, and CFE has always provided the best results for me. I don't have a load for 60gr though.
