8208 powder lot 167

Do I remember correctly that this was a good powder for the PPC? Michael Kavanaugh called this morning and said he was sending me about 7 lbs.

Ron Hoehn certainly thought so.

I don’t know about lot 167, but I’ve won several local club benchrest matches shooting 29.3 grains of 8208 pull-down lot 18166 in my 6PPC.

About any lot of IMR 8208 will work Butch. But, there are two downsides. It is relatively dirty burning, especially when compared to N133. And, at $60+ a pound more expensive, too.

A check of the equipment lists from any NBRSA Match results confirms that N133 is the go-to choice for Group Competitors. LT-32 has made some in roads, but N133 still tops the list.

I understand. I have an 8lb jug already and can't turn down a freebe. I have an 8 lb jug of LT32 also, but not a lot of 133.
