Looks to be pushing bullets the quickest based on Hornady's load data page:

CFE223 is another option that's close to Leverevolution but they're both notoriously temp UNstable. This brings me to a newer powder offering that sits in the same burn rate - Staball Match.
Now, I've got no experience with this powder but have lots of positive experience with its sibling - 6.5 Staball. Has anyone tried this Match powder in their ARCs yet? How's it compare to Lever on the velocity front?
 
If you are wanting the most temp stable powders it's going to be varget, h4895, 8208xbr, benchmark, rl15. Fastest would be lever or cfe223.

I have burned about everything trying to find the magic. There is no powder that I have found that is temp stable and gives the highest speed. I havnt tried stabal match, I hate ball powders as it is.
 
Don't overlook A2520. I get great velocity and accuracy out of a 24" EABCO Accuracy barrel. 2520 is usually pretty easy to find also. My rifle slightly exceeds posted values with most Hodgdon data.
