It's what I use for my .308 and it shoots quite well, it is also temperature insensitive and measures like ball powder.

I shoot 24.0 in one gun and 24.2 in another. Both shoot well.
24 grains in my Krieger 20” 1/7.7 twist and 24.3 grains of 8208XBR in my 20” Shilen 1-7.5 twist both shoot the Hornady 52 HPBT 1/2 MOA. 1” groups off bench at 200 yards.Anyone other than me having a hard time finding a load with 8208 in a 223 ? Im using 52 grain hornady bthp . Was tryin to find a varmint load witha 50 grain nosler B-tip. Iv talked to a few people that said thay only found there load over max .
Try this- xbr8208, 23.2 , 2.26 col, Sierra Match King 69gr. My friend shot the top group, I shot the bottom group. One right after the other. Savage 223 with 26" bull barrel 1/9 twist. This load works very well in my 20" 1/7 twist and 22" 1/8 twist. 1/4 to 1/2 all day.Anyone other than me having a hard time finding a load with 8208 in a 223 ? Im using 52 grain hornady bthp .
