Imr 8208 for 6.5 creedmoor?

Has anyone tried imr 8208 in 6.5 Creed? If so, how did it perform. If not, which cartridge have you used it with and how were the results?
 
I really don't think 8208XBR is the best suited for getting best performance in the 6.5 Creedmoor.
It is somewhat effective with the lightest 6.5 bullets but well below par with the heavier ones like 135-142 grain.
It has been a good powder for me in 6BR and some of its casemates.
 
8208 is suitable for 95-107 grain bullets in 6.5CM. I have used it with 100gr Hornady ELD-M's but Varget was better.

FWIW: 8208 is superb in 223 Remington. Along with Benchrest it is my "go to" powder for that cartridge.
