gun nut Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Cfe 223 was designed for heavy 223 bullets, Mervyn Young has it. Shoots extremely well for those 2 weights of bullet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of cfe223 or reloader 15 I know Mervyn has both do you think rl15 would be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Reloader 15 is hard to beat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bradders Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Hi I would like to try rs powder but no one stocks it that I know of in n.lrelandThat's why I never mentioned it, even though I use it myself  Any of the regular powders will do, although some will be better than others RL15 should give excellent results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gun nut Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 CFE 223 meters extremely well and I've done loads for 3 different .223 rifles with it, all have shot sub .5moa 5 shot groups with good velocity as well. Never tried RL15 but if Bradders says it'll work I'm sure it does, only thing I'd say about CFE 223 is you need hot primers to get the best from it. Rem71/2 or CCI Br4's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradders Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Reloaded 15 was always the .223 powder of choice for US Highpower shooters. It's still hard to beat with the heavier bullets in that calibre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I'm using h335 at the moment with very good results. Tannyoky had about 60 tubs of it the last time I enquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus 1 on Tannyoky. They got a big shipment of powder in last month. With blc2 you will struggle to hit 3000 fps without filling the case up.
