[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1451112, member: 5219"] Hodgdon lists load data 6.5 Creedmoor loads for IMR 8208 XBR from 90 grain to 140 gr bullets on their website. [URL]http://www.hodgdonreloading.com/[/URL] The velocity for light bullets is equal to other powders listed. With 120 and heavier bullets the velocity falls off a bit. With a 140 it is the slowest powder listed with velocity of 2511 while the most of the other powders are 90 and one (4450) is 160 fps faster. I use 8208 in my 308 with 168s for a super accurate load with somewhat slow velocity of 2500 fps. It really shines in my 6 BR with 105s but again it is tad slow @ 2825 fps. BUT it is very very temperature stable something I like as I live in S. Az. I tried it several years ago when Varget was hard to find. I read about it on Accurate shooter, tried it and never tried any other powder after that. I would say if you have some give it a try, think you will be pleased with the accuracy and temperature stability. [/QUOTE]
