Finally there is data on LeverEvolution powder for the Grendel. Hodgdon lists maxes from 29 grs for 130gr bullets up to 34gr for 90 TNTs.

The new site is a little clunky and slow, but I thought the horde should know...

Definitely kludgy.
To get multiple of gr weights, or powders, or whatever... just pick the cartridge and leave the choice(s) blank.
Then email it to yourself.
I picked just "6.5 grendel", leave the rest blank, and sent them all to me.
Then 6 Arc, leave the rest blank, and get all the 6 Arc data loads.
If you pick a weight then that's the only wt you get.
Or pick a powder, then that's all you get...
comes to you as a pdf. But better to read offline, than to try to scroll online.

Thanks for posting this, because itÂ’s the next powder I want to try for a bit more horsepower out of the 123gr projectiles.

I've been using it for many years- 29.5gr under a 123gr Nosler CCs. Nice to finally see factory load data. How many years did we ask them to only to be told LVR isn't appropriate for Grendel. Looking at the data it sure seems pretty good to me.

I wish Hodgdon would expand the number of data used as far as different powders go. 6ARC is getting a lot more attention.

Just used their site again after they changed/"updated" it. Use to be able to select a couple of bullet weights of interest. However, now it seems it is either leave it blank and get all the bullet weights or look at each bullet weight individually.
Just like my last job... and updates resulted in less usability of the product.

I think they must be going through some upgrade problems. I agree that it is less usable than before even with more data now.

I've loaded LVR 30.0 grains under 120gr bullets for a few months with very good results...
