Lever evolution and .223?

[squirrelshooter]

Anyone used lever evo for .223? I have some powder and some 60gr Hornady bullets. Wonder if anyone has a spec?

It slots between CFE 223 and H380 on the burn rate chart. Hodgdon shows 25-26.7 of CFE 223 with 60 gr bullets, so that should be safe with leverevolution. - dan

Somebody is going to come along and tell you it is only for 40,000 CUP Levergun Loads.

I'd use starting CFE223 loads and work up with a Chrono as usual.

I’ve used lots of it in 223 with 75+ grn bullets. It works well, easy to get an accurate load. Haven’t tried the lighter projectiles with it tho.
