[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1980608, member: 11960"] 8208 has been my go to powder for the Grendel with almost all bullet weights. I haven't seen a big issue with temp sensitivity with H335 in temps ranging from the mid 30s up to the mid 80s with the same load. Velocities are only off by maybe 50 fps. So what do you do in the case of a bullet with no published load data (like the Hammers) and a unique pressure profile? You have to take into account the bearing surface as well as the weight when comparing load data. Then you have to factor in different rifling profiles (like Polygonal or 5r). A 99gr Hammer generates much less pressure than a 100gr bullet like an Accubond. When you run the numbers through Quickload you'll find that the data from a 95gr Hornady V-max bullet actually tracks very closely with the 99gr Hammers as long as you match up the actual usable case capacity in H20 with a bullet seated in a case to the usable case capacity in QL.
