The LEVERevolution might be about the right speed but the powders might be a tad fast.
Other powders that might give near optimum velocities are Reloder-17. IMR 3031, Hodgdon CFE223, Accurate 4064, BL-C2, Wind 748, Accurate 2495, and Ramshot Big Gameshootersnotes.com

I plugged that bullet @ 2.25" OAL with 22gr of 8208XBR into Quickload.
This is what it said for an 18" BBL: 1976 fps @ 37311 psi with 86% case filling
From my experience this program is pretty conservative, meaning that load is probably more like 1850-1900 fps in real life. You could probably safely start somewhere around 22gr and work up. Note: 25 gr is calculated as being OVER Max by 1000 psi so use small increments.
*Of course you are doing this at your own risk I'm just giving you the info the program gave me. *
You can probably get at least 2150 FPS depending on your barrel length. I think these bullets have a tough time expanding below 1800 FPS so you are probably talking about a projectile that won't expand much past 200 yards or so. I got a bunch of 140 noslers from a co worker for free but have been using them for subsonic loads so I would be interested to see how your load development turns out for the faster side."Bugout bag?..What's that? Is that all the junk you sidewalk commandos plan on humping when the SHTF? I'll grab a Nylon 66, a box of 22s and a poncho liner and in less than a week I will have all of your stuff and everything else that I need for the duration."

Sounds solid, keep an eye out for pressure as usual. I've been trying to make it a habit of worrying about my brass before I worry about the lead.
I'll stay tuned for accuracy and speed report, how far are you planning on shooting?"Bugout bag?..What's that? Is that all the junk you sidewalk commandos plan on humping when the SHTF?

Range is still closed . The rain has been heave so the range is still flooded .
I don't plan on shooting past 300 yards . I will keep an eye on the brass .
I been reeding a lot of other older post and i am wondering if i should stick with 123g instead of 140g bullet . The penetration is what i am after . There is Nilgai in the area and thay are built like a brick house .
So which bullet weight would penetrate the best ?

I made it out to the range finally . Figured out that my rifle dose not like the factory 123 sst . It did like the 140gr hand loads . Was not able to shoot at 100 yards . The recent rains still had the back part of the range flooded . So 55 yards was is i had to work with . When i sited in with 123gr sst thay did not hold a tight group . I thought to myself , its an AR so i was not expecting tight groups . That was till i shot the 140gr . The groups were very close .
I will try to get out again this weekend to see if the 140gr will hold a good groups at 100 and 200 yards .
I am having trouble downloading the pictures from my phone to my computer . If someone can help me out and post them for me I can text you the pictures . (956)299-0289
I had a lot of fun shooting the Grendel and can't wait to get Ms. Piggy in my sights .
