Run a search.

Four or five threads on LT30.

LR-55

is there some kind of surplus dump of this powder going on somewhere? This is about the 3rd or 4th thread over the last few months on that relatively obscure powder by now. (serious question - hey, if there's a deal to be had, I'm game).

As to answers, it's a spotty choice as too fast and you'll be giving up a couple hundred FPS, but sure, it'll work. If your interest is game, it will hit lighter. If your interest is target shooting, the wind will blow it off target more and the elevation will take more. All of that can be accounted for, and if your interest is 100-200 yard shooting, it mostly won't matter much.

Also be aware, not the ideal choice for a gas-operated gun with a rifle or even middy gas system, as it'll be all burned out and pressure depleted earlier in the barrel. Carbine gas will work fine. Middy should... should.

Not so new, been around since at least 2015. Purported to be reasonably temp stable, humidity is another matter.

I have used LT 32 in .308 with 150 flat base Bergers, best thing I can say is that it's functional in a bolt gun, there are better options in Grendel and .308 IMHO, not to mention the cost.

Western has load data for Lt30 in the 6.5 Grendel. I have never used any Lt30.

given the data from western i dont thing its suitable for grendel
speeds are way to slow compared to other powders[ATTACH=CONFIG]18819[/ATTACH]

Yep, cross reference with TAC, and it's about 200 fps slower. That's a lot.

It'll work - if it's what ya got. But I would pat the premium for it.

Probably a great 6.8 powder though.

Brownells sent me an email that they had it ,and was a “good” grendel powder. Also found several pounds locally. Don’t really care to pay for hazmat,unless absolutely last option. Thanks for the info. I have ran varget with good results, slow but accurate. Guess I’ll keep loading 8208 and 4895 as long as they hold out.

I run it with lapua 108’s and 95 v max with decent results.
It seems to work better with lighter pills.. tried 120 eldms and was very disappointed seems better suited for lighter bullets
