I will look up my load data and get back to you.
CFE223 is a great powder in the Whelen.

Attached is three loads for the 275gn Woodleigh PPSP. Couldn't find the Hornady
Note 2208 is varget in the USA.
Hope this is of help to you.
I chose the 3 powders that gives you the best performance with the lowest pressures.
