Lever evolution and 308 win.

[bulldog284]

I was given a pound of lever evolution and was wondering if anyone has tryed it in a 308 win. Or a 6.5-47 lapua? I have looked threw the hodgen reloading manual and found nothing.i see its right next to cfe223 on the burn chart any info would be appreciated I have a wide selection of bullet weighs to chose from in both calibers.
Thank you Darin

I've seen posts where people have used varget data w/lvr in 308. Definately use towards start loads. Hopefully people will chime in w/loads and results.
I did run a comp of lvr and cfe in 708.
They were not the same...lvr was about 75 fps faster and a different point of impact slightly.
I can also add that lvr quickly became my go to powder in 3030. Its faster, burns clean, and was really accurate w/many bullets.

What bullet were you using in your 7-08? I have 2 of them as well lol

I checked my records. I was using win brass in my little cva scout rifle which is a single shot break open rifle. It needs mild loads or it strings vertical. My load was 40.3 lvr vrs 40.3 cfe223 under a 140 ballistic tip. There was less speed difference than I posted //remembered above....the lvr avg'd 2527....the cfe avg'd 2481. My notes say the es of lvr was excellent.
If you do a Google search using "leverevolution in 308" you'll come up w/lots of info.

I used LVR all last season in my match rifle for FT/R with very good results. I was using lapua 308 win brass, 155GR SMK Palma bullets, and settled on 46.7gr of LVR. Less than 0.5 moa accurate and quite fast too. 3025 fps out of a 30" barrel.
