CFE223 in the 45/70

Has anyone done any trials with this powder in the 45/70? Its a little slower on the burn chart than Varget, which is used in some 45/70 loads. I bought some of this kind of on impulse for 223, but like to spend money on powders I can use in multiple calibers. I typically run Benchmark, H4895 and AA2015 in both calibers.

Benchmark and Varget are good powders in the 45-70, H4895 is an excellent powder in the 45-70, especially with 350 grain jacketed bullets. No experience with the powder you are inquiring about.
