Anyone try 8208 XBR in a 22BR ?

[82boy]

So far I am impressed with 8208 XBR in a PPC, I don't feel that it has the edge of N133, but it is not far behind. I thought about trying this out in a 22BR with 52 gr bullets. Anyone have any load data? I checked and Hodgdon has no info on it yet. Thanks

Old post but I recently started using 8208 in my 22br. I started with 27.5grs and this load has consistantly been better than 2520 and Benchmark. I will likely play with the load at some time but so far this load has been very good.

Thank you.
I have still yet to tri it, I switched barrels and my br barrel is sitting. i may have to spin it back on.

I have found that 8208 is slower burning then N133 more like H4895 so it would do better with the smaller caliber and probably give slightly higher velocities.

I recently switched to 8208 in an
8 twist .22BR. This powder is awesome
with a 75 A-max at 2975fps. from a 21.5"
barrel.No other powder even comes close
for accuracy or speed. Also, this powder
is not temp. at all.
