    I have used 33grs with a 100gr eld in a 20" BHW barrel AR velocity was 2,780fps and shoots bug holes if you do your part.

      So I still Ask myself why no published data on this propellant W LVR in the Grendel? I Really liked LVR W astounding velocity w the Hornady 129 gr SP or the Nosier 125 gr partition from either of my CZ527's.

                      Its interesting that the first time I heard mention of LeverEvolution from a fellow shooter he was using it in his 223AI with 85gr bullet to achieve higher velocities for shooting 1000 yard matches. The next time I heard mention of it is here for the Grendel. I now own 4 lbs and waiting to receive some 90gr TNT's. I might also load it for some 129gr heavies.

                          Nice groups but that seems like an awful low powder charge for a 90gr.
