According to the QuickLoad software calculations (use for guidance, but always cross-check with manufacturer data), the VMax bullet is .870" and the Ballistic Tip is .851" long. QL does not list CFE223, but using Varget as a close approximation it shows that the BT can be loaded 0.4 gr more than the VMax for the same max pressure maximum.

I think this would indicate it would be safe to use the Vmax data starting load as a start load for the Ballistic using the same powder. Work up from there and don't exceed the maximum load listed for the VMax unless you get data specific to the BT.
