Does anyone have any load data on 120gr Nosler BT's with CFE 223? I have 3 boxes of the Noslers and just wondering what the best powder for them is.
CFE223 + 120 Nosler

Start with 29.0gr, and work up in .3gr increments. Everyone should know not to just start with a maximum load.
Find your allowable seating depth and work it out with your magazine. With the 120gr NBT, that shouldn't take you over mag length anyway.Last edited by Guest; 03-04-2014, 03:22 AM.

Nothing wrong with .030" from the lands. How did they shoot?
Another thing about Nosler BT's is that many people experience copper fouling with them that needs to be removed before shooting another type of bullet. Many of the most accurate loads have been reported as 120gr NBT's.Last edited by Guest; 03-05-2014, 04:47 PM.
