    I have been using it in all my loads. I am currently running this load out in my AR15 with a 16 inch barrel.
    27gr CFE
    With a coal of 2.27 just to give it a little less of a jump and yes it does fit in standard magazine
    Using hornady vmax 60gr.
    Have no feed issues and ejects good and brass is all range brass

    I had one double feed but ejected the empty then finished the mag without issue.

    I read that an AUG shoots heavy bullets well with CFE223.

    I will continue to experiment with it.

    On the plus side I learned how to work my buddy’s QuickLoad!

    That's confusing. Is it feeding 2 fresh rounds from the magazine and jamming or is it failing to eject the spent round then picking up a new round and jamming?

    On round 13(27.5 gr)I fired, it ejected and tried to feed two fresh rounds.

    I dropped the mag and reloaded two rounds that fell out(one was scratched but not destroyed)and fired the balance of the 25 loaded without issue. Then fired another 25 rounds of my usual 23.4 of aa2230.

    I plan to continue to play with the powder since it meters so well.
