If you care to try heavy bullets may I recommend a plain Jane 129grain flat base spitster over Leverevolution. A few folks over on the 6.5 Grendel Form turned me on to this load. The Ke achievable with this combination is impressive out of the diminutive cartridge and action IMHO.

I have two rifles on the order of the Gem you have put together there. One a bit of a custom with the 1 in 9 twist 24in SS LW barrel and another factory 24" with the 1 in 8 twist. both I am very fond of each of these rifles. I Have been quite pleased with 100 gr barnes TTSX for deer as well as the Much heavier 129 grain Spitster.

Wish you well.

& yes Tac is another fine powder in the Grendel.
