Thought I would share this load in case anyone wants to reproduce it.
Gun:
Colt 6920 + trijicon accupower
Load:
-Wolf gold brass trimmed to 1.752, headspaced near min Sammi spec.
-CCI 450 primer
-26.8gr CFE223
-Hornady 55gr varmint soft point
-C.O.A.L 2.20
-Light taper crimp
This is by no means a professional review, just thought I'd share a combo that worked surprisingly well, and I honestly did not think my gun or these bullets we're capable of this accuracy.
I had a few pounds of CFE223 laying around, I never liked this powder because it has always shot really dirty for me. Tons of fluffy carbon, absolutely filthy. I much prefer cleaner burning powders.
So I thought I would use some of it up with some cheap Hornady soft points for range fodder, and blasting rabbits with. I did not expect anything better than 2moa, and I was really just loading this stuff to get rid of this powder as a cheap blasting load. I didn't work up a load at all, I just threw together a load I knew would cycle my gun and be safe to shoot.
I shot several 5 shot groups like this at the end of the day, and was very surprised as they were shooting sub 1". I was also very surprised that these soft points shot so well out of an autoloader. My only complaint is these shot 2" high and left of the poi that most of my other loads shoot.
Great cheap load.
