Anyone using XBR 8208 in their .308?

[Melnibonean]

I have both 168 and 175 SMKs that I want to try with it. Anyone here have any experience or loads they're happy with using this powder?

I've used it for loads in my Browning A-Bolt Target rifle.
It's OK, but I haven't really gone out of my way to develop a really good load. I only had 2 lb, and it's been hard to find, so I've been sticking with powders that I have lots of.

With the 8208, my best results were with 42.9 gr. and a 168 gr. Sierra BTHP match bullet
FC brass, Fed match primers. Seated 0.030" off the lands (max length in my magazine)

I was going to give it a whirl. Decided to stick to larger granules to fill the case better. I'm working with 4064, hopefully the fill ratio/burn consistency will make up for the temp sensitivity.

Have used it for a long time now for my M1A, my previous Mini 14 and 30-30. Very good powder.
It's all I use anymore for my rifles.

I have used it - and like it! 168 and 175 smk. Got 8lbs when Varget was scarce, now I have both and lean towards 8208. 42 gr +/- a bit is the sweet spot. No crunching, but a full case. Seems to burn clean, at least as clean as the others I have used.
