Anyone here ever used CFE223 in the 7x57 Mauser?

I haven't but, know for sure that H-335 isn't for the 7x57 and their burn rates are similar.

I could see if working with light bullets, but I would look for something slower.

@MS 9x56
it is listed in the 7mm-08 so I can't see a reason why it won't work in the 7x57
According to my burn rate chart it sits between Varget and H4350
As always start low and work up.

I agree mate. In the 7mm-08 it gives impressive velocity with the 120gn but for the 140gr and above I would use H4350, H4831SC or Re22.

It’s a fantastic powder in the .222Rem. & the .223 REM!

And the 22-250, 35 Whelen, 375 H&H with 270 grain bullets.

CFE223 works great in my 8x57, 9.3x62 & .375H&H BUT it was a disaster trying to make a load in 7x57 with a 131 Hammer Hunter and CFE223. I got erratic up and down velocities and POI with that combination. I have had good luck with Hammers in 6.5Wby RPM, .375H&H and 8X68s
