I think in the longer barrel and using the heavier bullets you'll do good to start with CFE 223 as it is a slower powder and will take advantage of the barrel length and heavier bullet. Also since it is a new barrel, the CFE can possibly help with barrel break in as it keeps the copper from depositing. If using 55 gr CFE will work well but my Mod 70HV really likes H335 with 55 gr bullets. I may be the exception, but I've never had very good luck with Varget.
