8208 in a 30BR??

Fellas
I have stated a couple times that i have about 5 pounds of 8208 that i just dont know what to do with. After looking at the burn rate chart, i am wondering how the new powder might do in a 30BR? I shoot 4198H currently and it works very very well, but the curious side of me just wonders. I also noticed that 4198 is just above or just below (cant remember) N133. I wonder why you dont see or hear about to many folks shooting N133 in there 30BR? Humm!!! Lee

Skeets -

Howdy !

I think you are the vanguard of potential things to come.

There's probably a whole bunch of .30BR shooters, that have been trying out
the new 8208 powder; but have yet to " report ".

Yeh... it's around N133, Benchmark, AA2015 speed area; fer sher.

Tell us how it goes.

4198 is way above N133 N130 is just above H4198
I would try the benchmak load it should be pretty good.

i have shot benchmark and it was very accurate but really slow in velocity. I will see if i can find the link that shows the burn rates i was referring to. Heck maybe its wrong? Ill be back!! LOL!! Lee
