For those of you that are having trouble finding .223 powder, Leverevolution is the same powder as CFE223, which gives me good accuracy and velocity out of my 6x45 and .223's.
As for it actually erasing copper fouling? Pretty sure that's just advertising, but I'm not too concerned about that. I got 8lbs from powder valley.

They are different. At least according to QL data. For a Barnes 85gr MatchBurner, 24gr of LVR would be about 62,700 PSI where as CFE223 would be about 56,700 PSI.
Quick edit to say that it would be under max vs. over max.

Not the same powder at all , quit spreading bullshit . Lever is not listed for either .223 or 6 x 45 , CFE 223 is not listed for 6 x 45 . I trust the powder folks , I sure as hell don't trust you .
 
Did you guys notice this is from 2013 wonder if the op is even here?
but anyway

sooo they are not "the same powder"
are they close on the burn chart? yes.
do a bit of research and you will find some differences.
Look up the words, brisance and progressivity and how they relate to powder burn and explosion.
