Real good accuracy out of this powder with 23.3 gr in .233 AR15. With 69 gr Sierras. Best load for my competition rifle.

I have found this powder to be extremely accurate in my 35 Whelan with 200 grain Hornady and Nosler Accu bonds. Looking forward to using it for my new toy . An AR 10 in 338 Federal.

Best Powder Yet
I normally use Varget, which is great, but 8208 is steller. I did a 15 step .3gr ladder test, and 10 of them were already MOA! Now I have to guess at where the nodes are, but that’s an unbelievable problem to have; I’ve never seen anything like it.

Had excellent accuracy loading 55 and 65 gr BTSPโs for my AR 15. Got an AR 10 in 308 and had same pin point accuracy with it loading it using 150gr btspโs Highly recommend it. Be sure to work up and find your sweet spot 1/2 gr can make a difference as with any powder. Definitely not a temp sensitive powder. Love it. Meters perfectly!

I bought 8208 on a whim due to lack of available options when I first started reloading. Turned out to be a fantastic powder for my .223 Wylde, 6.5 Creed, and .308 Win. In the Creed I’m getting cloverleaf’s at 100 yds, and 1-2 MOA groups @ 500 yds w/140gr BTHP. On the Chrono I get amazingly low SD’s consistently. Found my new go to. But that 8 pounds is almost gone so now I have to TRY to get more or re-work all new loads. Let’s hope Hodgdon is releasing more soon!
