Was hoping for better then that.
I had read that the Grendel being such a short case burns all it's powder and Max velocities can be reached from as little as a 14" barrel.
Ideally I want to use 8208 as my powder but as you will all know it's bloody hard to find anything at the moment. Or if you do in the car of powder get it to you.

The Hornady Manual Edition Ten has 27.1 of Benchmark max at 2450fps in a 18"barrel the top velocity is 31.2 CFE223
