I spent 2 years in München during the Cold War, which were very memorable years.
CFE223 will get a 123gr to 2500fps from an 18.
My 123gr A-MAX load on top of 31.2gr of CFE223 averaged 2519fps 15ft from the muzzle from my LaRue 18 Stealth 2.0 Rifle.
From my 17.6 Lilja barrel Grendel, the same load averaged 2490fps 15ft from the muzzle, so both of these are over 2500fps at the muzzle.
In my 16 AA Enfield-rifled barrel, 31.4gr of CFE223 gave me 2520fps, using 2.272 COL.
16 AA MLGS Grendel, 60deg F/ 15.6 deg C
31.1gr 2489fps
31.4gr 2520
31.7gr 2532
Well i managed to get my 2000J.
32,5gr of CFE223 pushing 123gr SST is getting me 2527fps /779ms) and that gets me 2005J at 100m. Groups at 1MOA
my rifle likes the Vit N540 though, with 30.0gr im getting 2481 fps and 1930J with 1/2 MOA, but if i drop back to 29.6gr i get 2448 fps (746ms) 1878J and 1/3MOA.
I honestly wonder if a deer can tell the difference or around 130J.
