IMR 8208 with heavies in 6x45

Looking for load data for 8208 and 95-100gr bullets in a 6x45 bolt gun. Velocity info also much appreciated.

Thanks.

1/8 twist 30" barrel, 95 Sierra, start at 25 gr I-8208. I'm running around 2880 fps.

I'm very interested in this also. I have considered 8208XBR with the 105 RDF's. I'm needing to see at least 2500 fps out of a 20" AR.

Thank you gentlemen. KMart, thank for the Hodgdon link. I had looked there previously but missed the 8208 data.

I've been shooting h4895 and it has worked well enough. Have been reading that I 8208 might have an accuracy advantage. Anyone seen that?

Thanks again.

I have a 9 and a 10 tw 6br barrels and have found that the 95gr bullets really like the 8208. I think it would be worth a try. FWIW. WD

I bumped a page on reloading board 2 days ago.
Post #12 has a link to loads of data compiled by shooters.
I've been using it for a couple years with great success.

Edit: woohoo I figured out how to cut n paste.
