IMR 8208xbr has worked very well in a couple of my 22-250 rifles with 55 grain projectiles. With 35.5 grains in Lapua brass, Fed 210 M primers and 55 grain Sierra GKs my Sauer 202 22" barrel produces 3611 fps average over a 10 shot group with an SD of 7.39.

My experience is that with 223 and 308 I was able to use 1/2 grain less than Varget and I got a little more velocity. I was using 77gr bullets in 223 and 155-175gr bullets in 308.

48.8 gr 215 Fed Primer, 150 Power Hammer bullet in my 30.06 18" suppressed rifle shoots great but it is a TS Customs rifle and has been to Africa twice, 13 animals all one shot
50 bucks a pound?
not great, but better than alliant prices

You can't find any powder that is coming in at under $50 anymore. The $35/lb days are looooong gone.

Here's a good one…..On the shelf in the back I pulled a container of 4198 (square paper) that had $14.95 on it.
