Not to Hijack your Thread, but I tried selling a #8 jug of XBR on here last year and people acted like it was for sale all over, and it never sold! Go figure.... One of the best powders by IMR IMO.
For those that want to use a mono-metal bullet the 105 grain Cavity Back MKZ bullets work great in the Grendel. I have used them for 4 Axis deer and a couple of whitetails. I am getting 2588 fps with them out of my 24" Encore barrel using a charge of 28.2 grains of 8208XBR and a CCI 400 primer.

We're not that far apart geography wise. If you run across some of the 8208, send me a PM. I have quite a few resources locally for powders and none have that stuff in stock. Online has been a bust as well.
Midsouth had 8208 today.

You're awesome thank you. Just ordered some
Glad you were able to grab some. Surprised it was still there.

Of the powders not already talked about you also can use 4198 and varget. I just bought some 8208xbr the other day, about fell over when I saw it on the shelf. I thought I would never see any for sale in a gun store again.

If need be I can get 8lbs of xbr and I'm sure at some point we can meet up.
