Is 8208 just too hard to find or are haven't you guys gotten around to trying it yet? Spoke to a couple of .223 bolt gun shooters recently who claim success with it AND, it is supposed to be insensitive to temperature.

Here is something I posted a while back...........

Been wanting to try some IMR 8208 XBR in the old spare parts rifle. See how it would do.
The wind has been blowing like crazy last couple weeks. Got out Sunday a week ago. It had laid to a modest 6-10 mph blowing from 10 to 4 from where I was shooting.
Just for shits and giggles here are six different bullets (loaded per book spec). All were shot off bench at 100 yds.
Enjoy
