    CFE BLK in 25-20

    Curious if anyone has tried using CFE black in the 25-20? I tried it today and initial results where very impressive, i need to load a few more and try it again with a proper target and rest but shooting off my back porch railing i managed a very tight group. Granted I was only 40 yards away but it was half the size of groups with same bullet loaded with 4198. Load was .7cc lee dipper (10.5grs) of CFE BLK with powder coated 80 grain Lee bullet (plain base) from an old group buy on here, velocity should be in the vicinity of 1500fps. Will have to dig the chronograph out this weekend and verify.
