I like 8208 in my 223 ar15, but I do wish it I could get a little better accuracy out of it.
Thank You,

Steve:

That is the exact question I have. We need something with less lot to lot variation than Varget in the Palma game. 8208 XRB “might” just be the ticket with the 155 class bullet.

Yah, but getting any to test with is gonna be the big hurdle for the time being. I checked five different well-established vendors, none have any to ship (not that I expect to be doing any testing until maybe early April).

Nevermind… forgot they’re marketing it as an IMR product. THAT’S where the info is.

Be curious to learn how it works for 155’s in 308WIN for Palma shooting.

Considering there’s no mention of this new product on their website, rumors inevitably will fill the information void despite having little or no basis in facts.

(Hybrid 100V is the only “new” rifle propellant product & that dates to early in 2008.)

If they want to dispel rumors, hard information needs to be made available.

That rumor is so odd that it makes you wonder about how it came into circulation.
