CFE223 powder in mid bore cartridges

@hoytcanon
There's a plethora of cartridges from 17 Remington to 458 win mag you can use CFE223 in. It's as versatile if not more so than 2298/varget only better

Yes, I use it in .223, .30-30, .308, ,358 Win, .35 Whelen and .375 WSM... and also in a few others that I no longer shoot... it is usually the fastest, but not always the most consistent... the accuracy is generally good though.

Load from a disc shows a lot slower velocity and a lot less pressure. With 225s in the 358win.
@Rick HOlbert swears by win 748 in the baby Whelen.

My go to load in the .358 Win is 50.0 W748 driving the 200 SP or RN... many truck loads of game have fallen to that load... so I agree with Rick.

@Rick HOlbert uses a snoot full behind the 225s. He is looking forward to trying the 225gn Woodleigh rnsp that I sent him on PG shortly.
Should be deadly.

These were all flattened by the 200 SP's driven by 50.0 grains of W748... so PG should go down with similar authority.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
