I find myself with a surplus of CFE 223. I have a couple of loads with it, but I'm not willing to use it for those loads any more. One is a 77 grain 223 load with SMK bullets. I'm not using SMK bullets anymore. I don't shoot competitions and their price is out of my range. I have a few magazines of this load but won't be making any more. I also have a load in 308 using a 168 grain A-max bullet. This is a good shooting load, but it is temperamental in my AR-10. The gas block setting for this load is lower than my other loads and if I'm off one click too many, I can get bent rims and extraction issues.
This leaves me with a surplus of a powder I don't want to use anymore. I also load 30-30 and 223/5.56. Is it worth working up a load in either of those? I could sell it I suppose. If I keep it, I was thinking of making a 55 grain 223/5.56 load. I tried it with a RMR 69 grain HPBT, but it didn't shoot as well as Tactical Rifle and Match Rifle. Another option is to keep it and keep looking for a load for it. Selling it seems the best option but brings its own hassles.
