CFE 223 in a 7TCU?

[HandgunHTR]

I have a 7TCU pistol barrel for my Encore (12"), one for my Contender (14"), and a Remage bolt gun in that chambering as well. I have good loads for all of them, but with things being the way they are, I am contemplating finding some loads that use other powders (my go to's are 8208 XBR and H4198) that may be easier to find. I have seen CFE 223 available recently and I have also heard good things about its copper fouling resistant properties. This is also a powder that I can use in my 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC guns.
So, anyone have any load data that they would like to share?

CFE223 isn't listed by either Hodgdon or Hornady (9th Edition) for your 7TCU. Maybe other sources have the data.

There has not been ANY NEW data for a longgggg time.
It’s a wildcat, so I would have some one with one of the programs run the numbers and go from there.
I would be more inclined to lean towards 4895 or 335.

Think I used to use H322 in my TCU

H322.

Take a look in the new 6th Edition Sierra manual. Or their online app. There is quite a bit of info for the Contender, 12+14 inch lengths. Their Most Accurate offerings include H4895, H335 and A 2460 across a wide selection of bullet weight.
Other info also include VV 130+133 and A 2015
CFE223 is not listed at all. Evidently it is too slow for their liking.
Other powders that should be looked at (quick load) would be 3031, Lt-32, Benchmark, RE 10x, and AR Comp
Several of the powders listed above, show up retailers fairly often.
