I don’t know if it’s just me, but I’m having a hard time finding any data for Hodgdon CFE223 for use in ..223 Remington bolt guns using 55.-70 gr Alpine bullets. I find recommendations for CFE. BLK. And none of my other reloading manuals even list that.. any help would be greatly appreciated. I guess I should’ve mentioned that I bought 3 pounds of it for a good deal and I would like to use it as much as possible.. thank you in advance.

There are no Alpin Bullets in thew database yet. I suggest you request what you need here: https://www.xxlreloading.com/request-new-bullet-to-be-added.
You can check for a similar bullet: https://www.xxlreloading.com/load-data/.223-rem./.224-%7C-60gr-%7C-aero-sb%2C--smax%3A13.10. CFE223 is too slow burning for .223 Remington. The powder burn when the bullet leaves the muzzle is below 90%. So it is not a suitable powder. If you still like to use you can get load data by using the personalized load calculator and setting Buffer = 0, Min Z = 70. Then CFE223 will show up. Does that help?
