[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 1439605, member: 10178"] Yes when you get up as heavy as 130 gr bullets Leverevolution is a great powder. It shoots 130 HPBT Sierra Game Kings fairly good with best velocity of any powder for me. But the 6.5 Grendel really does it's thing with 100 to 123 gr bullets and IMR 8208 has really worked for me. I have discovered that even within the same company's barrels throat length varies greatly so you really need to know what measurement COAL your barrel really has. I use the split neck case method and close and open the bolt by hand with it off the lower. I do this process three times with each bullet so I get the right measurement. Also some barrels just do not like certain bullets. I have a BCA and a Oden Works barrel and neither one shoots well with Hornady 123 SST either in factory loaded or hand loads. I wish Sierra would toughen up their 120 tipped Match King a little and make a great accurate game bullet with high BC for the Grendel. [/QUOTE]
