[QUOTE="budlight, post: 1303043, member: 2939"] I've probably used 32 pounds of cfe 223 in the past 4 years. I had to dig out my chrono testing notes. I use a dillon 550 progressive reloader and I only use one type of case for all testing. Remington bench rest primers I have stainless match wylde barrels in 18, 20 , and 24 inch lengths. I never have excessive copper fouling, so the copper fouling reducer function is not important to me. In my note I tested anywhere from 62 degrees to 96 degrees. 27.4 grains of cfe gained 73 fps from 62 to the 96 degree day. That is another moot point because they are not over pressure. CFE has super consistent ES I have some 10 shot strings within 7 ES of velocity. typical 55 gr and 20 inch barrel with 28 gr. of cfe AVG is 3164 fps and out of my 24 inch is 3339 fps for 10 shot AVG. These are my ground squirrel and PD rounds. Bench rest shooting you can get dime size groups if you and your equipment are up to it. I've also used probably 32 pounds of AR-comp, TAC, and win 748. an 8 pound jug is only something like 2000 rounds at 27.6 grains [/QUOTE]
