If you like 2520, try CFE223 and Leverevolution as well. CFE worked pretty well for me with 120-123gr bullets, and Lever was best for 129gr+. I still use Lever for the heavy bullets, but went back to 8208 for the 123 ELD for less gas because I shoot it suppressed a lot from a short barrel.

When you say for " less gas"are you meaning that the 8208 powder and the 123ELD produce less gass .....or are you dialing in the adjustable gas block to allow less gas due to the suppressed mode? Looking into suppressing my new Grendel.

8208 produces less gas than CFE223 or Lever. Or maybe I should say less "excess gas", meaning what the shooter experiences without changing gas system settings.

Grendel? Nah. 6.5x54 M/S? Yup! Rusty

I think the Grendel would make for a dandy single shot.
