Xbr 8208.

[The.22guy]

Looking to load up some .223 in a 1-12 twist rifle .

CCI small rifle primers and 50gr Barnes varmint grenade / 40gr V-Max. Powder would be the "new" IMR XBR 8208

Seem to be some data on the Hodgdon website but wanted to see if any of you guys have so good loads.

Thanks for reading .

My XBR loads are for 55gr and 69gr.
Great temperature stable powder, little to no flash when using a muzzle brake.

Heard many many great things about this powder. I would love to try it when ever I can find some.

Loaded up some in .223 and liked it. Shot some just yesterday in my M1A and liked it on that platform as well. I've found it to be more accurate than the W748 I usually use in .223 and .308, but maybe that's not saying much.
