80 grain ELD-VT bullets experience on paper & game

[dfosland]

I got the Hornady app because I use a bunch of different calibers with their bullets, may or may not be "the best" bullets for some people, but they work well for me.

They have only 7 powders listed for 6ARC bolt gun, and this is their max load
TAC 31.5
Benchmark 28.7
Power Pro Varmint 31.0
Accurate 2230 29.9
X-Terminator 30.5
H322 27.4
H335 29.7

Gas gun has the following listed,
TAC 29.7
Leverevolution 31.8
Norma 202 27.8
IMR 8208 XBR 27.7
Power Pro Varmint 29.5
Accurate 2520 31.0
Power Pro 2000 MR 31.5
CFE223 30.9
Accurate 2460 29.2
H4895 27.7
H335 27.7

Of this list, I have H4895, Leverevolution, CFE223, Power Pro Varmint, in my inventory right now, so of this list, those are the ones I'm trying.  Haven't seen any other load data from Alliant and would like to know if any of the RL series would work.  Also surprised to not see any Varget on the Hornady list.

The Hodgdon site has 12 powders in their list, but it is all gas gun at 52kpsi.

Super: Of the Hornady bolt gun data which two propellants are offering top velocity? Anything to speak of over the Gas gun data?
Thank's for sharing?

In bolt gun, CZ527, 24" 1:7.5 twist, Fed 205
TAC with 31.5gr is listed at 3100
Power Pro Varmint 31.0 gr, Accurate 2230 29.9gr, and X-Terminator 30.5gr are all listed at 3050

Gas Gun, Noveske N4, 18" 1:7.5 twist, Fed 205
TAC 29.7gr, Leverevolution 31.8gr, Accurate 2520 31.0gr, CFE223 30.9gr are all listed at 2800
IMR8208 XBR 27.7gr, Power Pro Varmint 29.5gr, Accurate 2460 29.2, H4895 27.7gr are listed at 2750

Given the speed differences, it would appear about 1.5 grains more for the bolt gun than the gas gun, even though it is 6" longer. 

Out of my 26" bolt gun with these, using Power Pro Varmint at 30.4 grains, 36 Shots, I was averaging 3179fps with SD 28, ES 108, Min 3107 and Max 3215.  Trying to attach my Garmin .csv file that I have of it, hope it comes through.

Wouldn't let me save it as a .csv, so saved as a .txt in notepad. Easiest to download it, convert it to .csv to view it as a proper spreadsheet.
