Google 'IMR 8208' you'll get mixed reviews......
I just bought two bottles to test....but haven't yet.....
Still hard to get a bad powder for the 223....
I use H4895 & Benchmark mainly.....
I'm using IMR 8208 in my stevens 223 cal 22" sporter. This load shoots so well I've hit a 12" gong at 450 yards on second shot. I'm getting easy 1/2" groups at 100 yards.
Load is:
imr 8208 @ 25.8grs.
Nosler 50 GR BT
Fed brass
cci 400 primer
cant remember col right now.
Gets avg 3228 fps.
