I've got a jug coming from Graf & Sons and hopefully it won't go backorder. I've not been hitting the range too much lately but maybe a new powder to try in my .308s & .338 Federal might get me off the couch! Anybody had a chance to try any? ???

haven't looked at it yet.

The 338 federal looks especially promising, the 185gr barnes tsx in particular.

Good hunting,
Gary

I've received a one pound can from Lane Pearce and got a shipping notice from Powder Valley for a 8 lb can that will be delivered tomorrow. I'm going to use it in .223 and 6BR. There's a short article on it on page 20 of the February 2010 Shooting Times and the Hodgdon 2010 Annual reloading Manual, out in January, will have several articles on 8208. My problem is that I had emergency spine surgery on November 20 and can't even pull a press handle for a while.
