question for the group
I am going to start load development with the Sierra 39 gr and some of the loads listed in this forum show CFE 223 and BLC 2 as a good choice. Where is this written? I have looked up Sierra load data (5th addition) and Hodgon website load data and Lyman reloading manual (51st edition). I just want to make sure its a safe load and I am not one to try things due to safety. Not calling anyone out just covering the back side.

Thanks

I have good success with CFE 223 in my 204's. But others enjoy 10X and Xterminator for a couple other powders. Start with start loads on Hornady's load data site. :)
