[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2775771, member: 109862"] Interesting. That leverevolution is a real sleeper of a powder. I think a lot of folks don’t see past the marketing and think it’s “for leverguns - 30-30 only” type of thing. But it shows a lot of promise in my 243 (old savage 99) with hbn treated Barnes X 75 grain (the real old ones from the late 90s or early 2000s with no relief grooves) Hit 3500 fps out of a 22 inch barrel no pressure signs or issues. However, [USER=113404]@Gingerman[/USER] has warned of his own experience with it going from 0-60 really fast in the pressure spike department so gonna back off a little and play it safe with this one, especially as I don’t know how temp affected it is - what’s fine in March is not in July sometimes. In your experience, is it temp sensitive? I know it’s a progressive burn rate double base like superformance, rl17, rl26…. These powders can definitely allow greater velocity without exceeding max psi. But when you cross the line it can be more disastrous so I’m after information haha. Also…HOLY SMOKES YOU AINT KIDDING about the similarity to CFE223. Makes me wonder if they’re almost the same **** thing. I hope not, cfe 223 has proven spikey and pretty darn temp sensitive. But point of reference for everyone to back up what [USER=94556]@nralifer[/USER] isnsaying about leverevolution and cfe223 data being interchangeable…I had a hard time believing that and thought it was probably dangerous advise at first. Then I reviewed my data from last Saturday. With that 75 hbn Barnes x in that 243….couldn’t believe it. 40 grains of cfe223 was 3093 fps. 40 grains of leverevolution was 3090 Come to think of it I don’t know that I’ve ever seen two differently marketed powders be this identical. Heck shot to shot deviation is more than 3 fps haha. Ima email hodgdon about this…I have some Suspicions now 🤣 [/QUOTE]
