100 gr ELD-VT 6.5 Grendel

Anybody have any experience with this bullet in a bolt gun? trying to figure out a starting point with 8208 and Lever Revolution, Any help would be appreciated...

I run noslers 100g hunting bt in my 22" ruger predator for deer antelope. Tad over 2800 fps, but I use H335, found it shoots more accurately than 8208 or revolution. Not much help I know.

Start at 29 gr. of 8208, increments of .03. I'm sure you'll find something of interest in short order. That starting powder charge was outstanding in my 6.5 Grendel with 107 gr. SMKs. The difference in bearing surface should negate the difference in bullet mass.

My results are similar from my 22” Tikka. H335 is accurate with very good ballistics. 29.8 Grains produced good velocity with no pressure signs. 100 grain Nosler B Tip. Main use is for hogs.
I tried H335 because I couldn’t find any 8208. Hard to come by in my area.
