I use h322 and have not tried the xmr8208 as of yet.I would give h322 a chance and meters alot easier than the larger stick powders.

N-135 with a 62 to 66gr. bullet works just fine for me--through 3 Shilen SSM barrels.

I use 8208 with sierra 70gr MK with great success with 14twist shoots in the high 1's. 70gr is considered the Max for 14twist. Also shoots great with 66gr & 68gr
4198 is to slow burning. Always used 4895 till 8202 showed up. 8208 is not affected by temp or humidity changes. It also meters great in harrell's powder measure.

4198 is rated a faster burning powder than 4895 or 8208.

I agree with jonbearman H-322 I use this powder in both my 22BR as well as my 6BR talking about that 14 twist I think staying with th Lighter bullets also. I shot some 75 or 80 Grain bullets they entered the target side ways Perfect outline of the bullet. Lou

Re: Not IMR.......

I am shooting the 55g Noslers at 3900 fps out of a 26" 1-14 twist, very tiny groups at 100 and less than 1" at 300. I use 7 1/2's with Lapua brass.
