I used it with a 105 Berger (hunting VLD) and Tula 223 primers. The charge was on the warm side (over 32 grains), but the brass I was using was nearing the end of it's long, distinguished, life anyway, and it wasn't *hot*, just harder on the brass than I like. Barrel is a 30" Krieger 1:8.6-8.3 gain twist. (Because someone had that on the shelf when I was looking for one, usually I run 1:8s in my BRXs)

Speed was 3056, sd=4.6 I did back it down a tenth from that load, and my best with that was a 200-17X at 600 (prone, irons). Backing it down another couple tenths didn't seem to shoot as well. Since then, I've mostly shot my Palma gun, and haven't gone back to mess with the charge on that one.

In another gun, (30" 1:8 Brux), I didn't try the charge quite as high, and it shot well, but that barrel preferred 203b by a good margin. For comparison, it shot 3003fps sd=9.1, and acceptable groups for prone shooting, but not great. I tried a load or two with 203b, and promptly stopped messing with 8208 in that gun.
