CFE 223 powder
I have been doing all of my own pistol reloading for 25 years and I figured I would give rifle a try. I picked up some 55 gr FMJBT for 223 and I have CFE 223 powder and I was just wondering if anyone has any load data on the combination

Hodgdon has it for a Speer 55 grain softpoint. It's on their web site. You would do well to consult the load manual from the bullet maker, though, as their testing will cover any differences their bullet has from others.

26 grains of CFE 223 under a 55 gr fmjbt gets me 2646 fps with an SD of 26. I use mixed headstamp (mostly military) brass and a 16.5 in barrel.
