CFE223 and lighter weight bullets

[StoneHendge]

I used 32.5 gr of CFE in a 243 LBC case (basically 6mm Grendel which has that whopping 0.03" of capacity over an ARC) to fireform necked down virgin Grendel brass with 55 gr Nosler Shots.  Velocity was below 3200 out of my 18" middie in a Phoenix winter and it abused my case heads.  If you just want trigger time or am looking to use up your CFE, I'd start at the PPC minimum, but it gave me pressure and/or timing issues.

Disclaimer (since you are a newbie (welcome aboard!)): I am what you could call a "CFE Hater".

Edit add: also note that Hodgdon's PPC data is for BOLT guns.
