But, as with all reloading, work up to your max with care.
Edit - QuickLOAD MV for 28gn = 2600, 35gn = 3250. A "modest" increase

Id not be recommending 35gr of anything in a 6.5 Grendel just say. DO you shoot a Grendel ?
Obviously too many variable but 28gr-29gr would be a very safe starting point and work your way up. 33gr seems to be a suggested max load for 90gr so 85gr wont be far off.
CFE223 work extremely well with 90-105gr in my ARC never tried it in the Grendel. Paid only $31lb recently
