The Hodgden site has a few more options, but is only listed at the 52k for gas guns, though I might give some H4895 a try there as well, Gordon's Reloading Tool guestimates that around 31 grains will be compressed max load. It is something I would consider, though I'd start the workup around 29.0 or 29.5.
Does the Hornady app offer bolt gun data? Suppose I am curious how much CFE 223 & or LVR they are suggesting as a max load for the 80 gr ELD VT? Sorry, I have never done an app. Suppose I may ask what powder interest you most for this projectile that you may not currently have?
