[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 865544, member: 5219"] IMR 8208 BR is a good substitute in all three. I use it in my 308 and get excellent accuracy. I mention it because you may find it available because it is relatively new and handloaders don't know much about it. IMR 8208 XBR is Consistent in All Conditions This short grain extruded rifle powder exhibits exceptional stability with virtually no change in velocity at temperatures ranging from -40 degrees F to 165+ degrees F. Lou Murdica, who helped develop this new powder, confirms that it is not temp-sensitive. Lou told us: “I have been shooting IMR 8208 XBR for over a year and I have done a lot of winning shooting it. One of the great things about this particular powder is, I always shoot the same load whether I shoot it in Florida or Phoenix AZ. I have never had to adjust for temperature or humidity.” That’s big news in the short-range BR game. Currently, most competitors must tailor their load to suit conditions. link: [url=http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/2009/10/hodgdon-releases-impressive-new-imr-8208-xbr-powder/]Hodgdon Releases Impressive New IMR 8208 XBR Powder « Daily Bulletin[/url] [/QUOTE]
