What cartridges do you load with 8208xbr

[6fatrat]

I use it in my 308 with 155's fullbore load, everything 223 and my 6 fatrat based on the 6.5 Grendel.
Agree to fast for your 257 mag.

22-250 ,223, 250 savage , 350 rem mag, 204 ruger, 308...I can't think of any application for the 257 wby

I use it a while back for 129g interlocks in 6.5 Grendel and for 180g interlocks in .308. I use 2460 for those two loads now; a little better velocity and I can buy it directly from Hogdon.

6x45 with 60 thru 80 grain bullets, 308 with 150 grain bullets. I have played a little with the 22-250 with 8208. 204 Ruger 39 grain Sierra.

Just wondering what cartridges folks are loading 8208xbr with maybe include some starting load data if you like. I'm thinking about using it in a 257 wby.?

.204 Ruger. Shoots good and fast, but not the best accuracy.

 

[Schroedernd]

I use it for my 6.5 grendel and 224 with 69 gr smk

 

[Varmintnv]

I only use 8208 in a couple .223's.

 

[derfssor]

Just my opinion is 8208 burns way to fast for your 257 bee. It works great in small cases 308, 338 fed, 243 ect. If you decide to use it anyway be very careful.

I only use it for 150/155 grain loads in my 308 and 7.62 X 51 rifles. Will not work in the .257 Wby with any bullet weight.

I'm using it in a 243 with a 69 gr absolute hammer. 39.5 grains (above max) for 3200 in a 16" barrel. Not an ideal powder but I had it on hand.

 

[bengineer]

223/55gr and 220gr and lighter in 35 Whelen, so far.
Planning to use it when I get a 6x45. Should work in the 7mm tcu also.

 

[matt_3479]

204 ruger, 3 different 20 tacticals, and 2 different 223's. Love the powder. Clean burning, provides excellent accuracy and speed
