Yesterday while playing around with QuickLoad I stumbled into something that I'd like others to comment on. Our good friend CAustin has a 416 Ruger that he wants to reload for. A couple of years back I asked recommendations. Based on what I received at the time "we" went with Hodgden's Varget. Bob Nelson 35 Whelen has often touted CFE 223 for use in a 35 Whelen. So just for giggles I "plugged" CFE 223 into the "Selected Propellant" window. What I found out is that it appears to be a perfect fit. Out of a 20" barrel 81 Gr. of CFE 223 generates 61,958 lbs. of pressure and 2356 FPS pushing a 400 Gr. Hornady DGX. The question is do any of you use CFE 223 in your 416 Ruger?
