Lever evolution and 308 Win

[Kazman1960]

I was reading something on a US site were they talked about using Lever evolution with 308 .
Anyone on here try it with any luck ?

I plan to use it in the 303 British using 308 Marlin express Data.

This is what i found yesterday . Just wondering if anyone on here has tried it .

Try the Badlands 150 gr .308 BD2 bullet using 48-50 gr Leverevolution. Do a small 2 shot ladder at 0.025” off the lands. They have a substantially greater BC and at 600 yds you should have substantially greater retained velocity and bullet energy. I would expect to get an MV of 2900 fps or so.

So 150 BD2 in new virgin Alpha SRP brass, COAL 2.910, 49 LeverEvo, CCI SRP mag primer, no pressure, 3058 FPS average, SD of 12, in 18” 1/10 barrel. Accuracy is MOA or slightly better. Outdoor temp 92. I can get this better with changing seating depth and once I fully prep fired brass.

I use it in my 30-30, 9.3x57 and 300 savage with great results. It’s close to cfe223 which is a great 308 powder

I've used CFE223 starting data for LeverEvo and still have all my digits. I was able to get more speed out of LeverEvo than CFE223 with equivalent brass pressure signs because Bro Science.

an average of better than 3,000FPS out of an 18" barrel with any powder with a 308 Winchester , especially in 92 degree temps is " interesting " for sure........
