MikedaddyH, Those loads look good, are you using optics or open sites? do you shoot .308? I just got a .308 bushmaster AR, it is awesome, that gun really barks, im working up some loads for it, have you tried IMR 8208XBR, the limited testing ive done so far has shown it to be very consistant across the charge curve, its a faster burn than the CFE, the CFE should really be a great powder for the .308 not to mention how nice it measures. Let me know how your loads work out. Mike

Hey Guys, I have been using CFE 223 in my AR (.223) since may of this year, I don't know about temp. sensitive, its been about the same temps since I have been loading it, one thing that I have found, is that it is very charge sensitive, a very accurate powder when you get the right combo.
