IMR8208 XBR & 6.5X55
« on: April 25, 2012, 02:21:32 AM »
Has anyone used IMR 8208 XBR in a 6.5X55? I want to try it in mine but can't find any specs.

good powder for 223 and 6mm br but way to fast for the swede. My best luck with powders for the swede have been slow burners, such as RL22, RL17, H4831sc and H1000.

Hodgdon lists this powder for the 270 win. so it should work in th 6.5x55 also. The burn rate isn't far from 4895 and I've used a lot of that in my 270. It may not give the most speed but that isn't what I'm looking for.
