Now we go the range and check accuracy.
.308 Win - Nosler brass - 210M primer - CFE 223 powder - 125 ballistic tips (moly coated)
55.5 grains = 3230 10 shot average with all 10 in same raggy hole, 3/4" - Kimber Montana w/ Leupold VX3 3.5x10x40mm
55.0 grains behind 130 TSX (moly'd) = 3170 5 shot average and 5 into 7/8" at same POI
reports are good on the CFE 223 and time will have to be the judge - RL-15 was always my go to .308 powder
