Thank you Dr Mike. I have RL17, but it's for the wife's 7/08 haha. Not a lot of great powders for that particular combo, and RL17 is the only one I have out of all them. Trying to reach 2950-3000fps with the 80s. Might have to drop down to the 75s and settle for around the 3K mark.

Wonder if the 75s would take similar powders or if Varget/H4895 would be applicable...I didn't see them on the list for 80s

It (Varget) will work just fine for the 80 grain bullet
 
I use a TON of Leverevolution in my 223’s with 77 TMKs. 2800 from 18” AR’s and a bit more from my Tikka CTR. If I was trying for max speed with the 223 and 80’s that’d be my first one to try since I’ve had so much luck in the past with it.
