I've heard of outstanding performance in the 221FB with CFE BLK, so would be very interested in hearing of your experience with it in your 17HH, as I would like to try it in my 20VT.

I tested CFE Blk in my 20 VT. I hit 3750 fps with 18.5 gr and Sierra 32 gr Blitzking. The load grouped .422" @ 100. For some reason, I did not record ES/SD.
I should add, A-5744, 18 gr with the same bullet shot a group of .061" @ 3725 fps.
These loads were fired in my Savage 10FP with a 24" Pac-Nor 11T barrel.

I have some 40 gr Bergers. I'll do it but it may be a while before I can get to it. My equipment is in storage until we complete our move.
