[QUOTE="JAYgs8163, post: 1985651, member: 37460"] Had my best velocity and accuracy with Lever-Evolution in the same exact rifle you’re loading for. Running a Hornady SST. One thing I will say though. This round loses velocity and stopping power fast. I would not recommend shooting past 350-400 with 120/123 grain projectiles. Stopping power falls off dramatically at 500 and I witnessed it. Shot a small Coues buck and 497 and it just penciled. After a long tedious tracking job I had to shoot buck again to put down. Bullet had very limited expansion. Maybe a smaller projectile would have been a better a choice at longer ranges. I have a number of Grendels in the AR platform also and run the LeverEvolutin powder in them as well. Extremely easy to load for. [/QUOTE]
