A friend gave me a pound of CFE 223 to try in my 223 but that rifle didn't care for it. I was thinking about giving it a try in the 7-08
H4350 Most Versatile Powder?

I was working with Ramshot Tac as well with the 150's when I saw that CFE was in the load data list.
I loaded some 150's under max and crossed 3000 fps and scared the **** out of me so I backed off.
TAC actually grouped better at 2900 so I went with that load with 150's.

For handgun and straightwall cartridges, H110 is the do-all powder.

..without question the absolute best powder if you could only have one...I pretty much have cleaned my bench of ever other powder and my "mother's milk" sit on the top shelf.. always great accuracy, velocity and is fairly clean ...from 6mm/06 to .338wm and every short mag and cartridge based off the /06 casing..even my belted mags, I'll give up a 100fps for simplicity on my bench..

I'll probably hold off using it unless I have to or someone locally will want it

Feel free to pm me so we don't start a derailment
I use 140PT and 48.4gn AR2209 in a Remington SS barrel. It is up there but fine. Shoots about 0.75 at 100.

I have almost every powder, but 99% of my reloading uses these two as well.

Varget, H4350 and H1000 covers everything id ever need for rifles. 231 and 296 covers pistols
I like SW4350,at the price point I'm outI like SW 4350, sort of like H4340 - real versatile for .22-.250 up. For smaller than .22-.250 or cartridges with similar bore to capacity ratios it's SW Precision, sort of like Varget.
In the world of Hodgdon it would be H4350 & Varget. In the world of ball powders it would be CFE 223, Staball 6.5 & Staball HD.
The selection list quickly expands as many other powders are included.
$50 or more per pound makes versatility important.
LGS upped price of SW 4350 to $65/pound
