IMR 8208 XBR ...Anybody try this yet ?

[shadowofnight]

I have some coming in my most recent Powder Valley order ( They have the 1 pounders in stock ) and I was just wondering if anybody has tried this yet ?

It is supposed to meter extremely well , be extremely temp stable ...and in the few tests I have read online performed extremely well.

Please post up or PM me with your findings.
I shoot .204 and .308 as well a .223 all the time.
I would love to hear about your range experiences with this powder.
And thanks for the post and links. Well done.

Cheers,

I will be, from all accounts it wasnt to be released until jan 2010...but a lot of places already have it in stock. It was really interesting though, 2 hours after I posted this Powder Valley sold out of the powder Graf still has it in stock as well as others.... http://www.grafs.com/product/294941


I will be doing hand metered loads as well as measure thrown loads...be curious to see how good the measure thrown loads will be...most have said it keeps to a tenth grain out of any powder measure ( I use a Redding match grade 3BR )
