20VT with 8208

[Gabe22BR]

Who uses imr8208XBR powder in their 20VT or 20SCC ??

I posted my load on SAUBIER form, no longer retrievable-
Can’t find my notes..
I seen the 19.4 gr load on the home site-

I’ll be whisking the 32gr pills & 40gr pills..

Would think 8208xbr would be on the slow side for 20VT. Bet your brass life could be great. Hardly had the 20 VT a year now. Doubt I will ever try IMR 8208 XBR with any bullet weights.

Though, never say never.

Did a search & very little to be found.

Anybody use 8208 XBR in .20 VarTarg?

...and 32 or 35 grain bullets?

I used N130 in my 20vt, lots of people chose N120 instead and I understood that as it's very nice. But I usually go with a little slower powder to get better case fill. I think with the 40s in your improved case you might like the 8208. It might be worth loading up a few. My N130 load was very accurate and killed pds beyond 500 yards with 32s.
