Tried it. It works. I worked up a load w/120gr ELD in Howa 20" bolt gun but could not find any good low-ES nodes. In the end, the best I could get was 1.5 MOA. As you said, this is not an easy powder to work up a Grendel load for. If in a powder drought, CFEBLK will work but don't expect miracles.
For comparison, something like 223CFE, at 29.8 gives me low ES(<10) and easy 3/4" MOA in the same rifle. Pressure signs begin around 31gr but by then, the case is pretty much full.
