22-250 and CFE 223

Has any one out there tried CFE 223 in their 22-250. Just wondering if you had any success with this combo.
I have a lot of 52 gr / 53 gr and 55 gr Sierra bullets as well as CFE 223 powder.

ChipChip I have a 204 and use CFE 223 in it exclusively now it works really well. I use 32 gr bullets with Remington 7 1/2 primers. What I've found was with Benchmark the other powder I used in it, I had to clean the barrel about every 30 rounds as accuracy would fall off. With CFE I can go 10 to 15 rounds more, I have checked this over the last couple years.
