Help please with loads for Lovex D073.5 powder.

[Howa]

I've managed to get hold of some Lovex D073.5 for use in my CZ 6.5 Grendel MTR and specifically for making rounds using Lapua 100gr OTM Scenar's and Sierra 107gr #1715 bullets.
I've searched the internet with out any success, a lot of info for AR 15 type Grendel's but unable to find info for bolt action Grendel's re the powder and bullet.

Would appreciate any info which any one can provide.

something to look at

Phew!
Looking at your kind answer makes me realize the difference between very serious shooters and myself and perhaps many other shooters who just look at the loading manuals and experiment around 'ladder' testing with some variables.

Thanks again.

Never trust someone you done know on the Internet
Please start lower that 28grains.
How long are you going to load them? Both the 100 and 107's?

Tested yesterday on 3 round groups.
On 100 gr Lapua: 1.019" on 26.5gr seated at 2.250", higher loads less accurate.

On 107gr Sierra M/K 1.235" on 28.0gr seated at 2.250", lower loads less accurate.

Not very good case fill and not burning all the powder


Somewhere around 29grains looks better
