imr 8208

[MNSHOOTER]

I have the chance to try a 8lb keg of br8208. How has it worked out for you guys? It seems to be fairly versital . Has anyone used it in 25-06 ,I dont see it listed in the load info. Thanks ...Mark

I haven't tried it in my 25-06 but I have in my 223 with very good results. Can't recall the load I used but it was very accurate.

Pretty well everyone I know of seems to like it.  For whatever reason, my 308 doesn't like it at all. It's a pretty fast powder, so I wouldn't suggest it in the 25-06.  Not that it won't work, but case fill will be fairly poor and velocity probably won't be that high.  I've tried it in another rifle (a creedmoor) and wasn't happy there, either, but again everyone else I know of seems to think it's the bomb.

It didn't last very long with the BR crowd biggest problem they had was shooting in the summer.

As MZ5 mention it is pretty fast powder  for the 25-06.

It does very well in my 270 Winchester.

Mabe there is a reason it is not in the manual for the 25.06.
