    LVR powder question?

    What's a good starting load for LVR with the 123 ELD and the 130 ELD?
    This is for a bolt gun...

    Thanks in advance...

        Have had a keg of Lever laying around for a couple of years now and finally got around to trying some. Wow. Can’t believe the ES/SD numbers I’m seeing with it, especially being a spherical powder. Maybe Im late to the party and shouldn’t be surprised. Anyway........... Howa HB 20” Lever/Hornady Brass/ CCI 400 123 ELD-M 2.366

          For the 123s I think this is where I landed with lvr (gas gun, 2.3coal)



          Can't find my 130eldm notes but I run bergers out to 30.9

                I was going to go to the range today but it's 38F at noon...
                I loaded 30 rounds with lever evolution and 123 ELD's...
                10 with 30.0 grains, 10 rounds with 30.5 grains, and 10 rounds with 31.0 with a OAL of 2.272...

                  Isn't that about typical for your area this time of year? I spend a some time in Nevada but usually there late May through early Autumn.

                      The op was asking for starting loads. Not max loads or favorite loads.
                      I use CFE223 as a good general guide when developing loads using LeverEvolution. (as do others on the forum.)

                      Here are the STARTING loads for cfe223 and those bullets as listed in the Hornady manual.
                      123 eld - 26.2 grains
                      130 eld - 27.9 grains. (not a typo, double checked)
