Well took my new model 11 V/T for it's first run w/ some loads for testing. I tried CFE223 and Varget under a Hornady 60 grain bullet. C.O.A.L. is 2.245". My best groups came with Varget. Distance was 100yds...I'm hearing CFE works better with the heavier bullets...

I get excellent results with 27.5gr CFE223 under 55r Nosler Varmageddon, AND with 27.0gr CFE223 under Hornady 60r VMax. This is my go to powder because it gives great results, is clean, and the thing I really like, it meters great. I don't even bother setting up my trickler anymore because it throws so consistently in my Lee powder drop.

Those 11VTs are absolutely tack drivers!
