Relative Burn Chart

Have you read a relative burn chart?

Hodgdon 4831 is popular for .270 Winchester. Hodgdon 4350 is popular for 30-06. IMR 4064 and Varget are popular for .22-250.

I've burned through a pound of 8208 XBR, but never had any desire to try it in anything besides 223 Rem.

8208 is excellent in 223/243 sized varmint cartridges especially with med/light bullets. Temp stable, good velocity, great accuracy, meters great. It's been out of stock all year but just popped up in 1 pounders this week. I still have some from my pre-covid stockpile.

I use it exclusively for all of these varmint & hunting loads:
20 Practical- 24gr, 32gr bullets
223- 35gr, 40gr, 50gr
6mmDTI- 55gr, 80gr
243- 55gr, 80gr
