 Greetings from OZ- ADI here in Aus has recently released the new 8208 powder and I understand it was launched in the US a few years ago so you guys would have some experience with it. Even though it is an Aussie powder it was first sold in the US through Hogdon and I believe performs well in medium burning calibres(223,243,308 etc).I would appreciate any feedback ( positive or negative), particularly in 308 with lighter projectiles ???? | ||

I really like it with 150 grain Nosler Accubonds. IMR 8208 XBR performs for me! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Here is my post from the other thread. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Rusty: Here is a picture of a group I shot a few weeks ago. 5 rounds, 100 yards, Savage FCP .308 I used IMR 8208 XBR, Federal match primers.  I have never had a terminal ballistics failure of an Accubond or Nosler Partition bullet. Accubond have performed well for me on White-tailed deer and feral hogs in Texas. I have not been back to the range since with that rifle. I will let you know when I do! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate.

Thanks Rusty-that is a very nice group. I might try some of this new powder as 2208 is a little inconsistent of late. | |||

I like it w/ my .204R. Member: Orange Gunsite Family, NRA--Life, Varmint Hunters' Assn., ARTCA, and American Legion. "An armed society is a polite society" --Robert Heinlein via Col. Jeff Cooper, USMC Caveat Emptor: Don't trust *Cavery Grips* from Clayton, NC. He is a ripoff. | |||
