Yes, I had great accuracy and hunting results from the 160 FTX out of my Savage 7.62x39. And CFE BLK is no joke in this caliber. It's a must try powder. 2550-2600 fps with 123 SST's out of my 20" barrels.I was going to say in my earlier post but forgot, nearly everyone that has shot mine starts asking how much they sale for and are interested in getting one. They are a good time.
I eventually plan to load some with CFE BLK and try to achieve the velocities you and others have been wringing out of the x39mm. Maybe try some 160gr FTX's. Wasn't it you that played around with those not too long ago with good results?
RL-7 is still a hair better under the heavies, but I've found no better powder than CFE BLK for the 123's.
