Ahhhh, good to know. Benchmark I have... burned several kegs of it in 6BR, though I use.Xterminator now for little better metering and velocity. I'll be sure to try in 22BR.

As for Dasher and 65s...what kinf of velocity do you get? Cause i"m working on 1 or 2 of those too. I was planning to go with 6BRA on this 1-10 tube I have, to push middle weight bullets up to the 88 VLDs, but I just bought a used BR gun that's coming with unfired Dasher chambering (1-8"), so I'm either going ro do Dasher in Both, or 6BRA in both. Hard call.
 
Anyone try something like the 60gr Varmint Grenade or 87gr vmax with 8208? Thought I might load up some coyote ammo and have that stuff on hand already.
I am shooting a 6 Dasher with 34.4 grns 8208 and 87 vmax. 3375 fps out of a 28" 1:8 twist. My barrel seems to like the 87vmax but it was sensitive to seating depth. Will send this load into some P dogs later this week...The 87vmax BC is great for long range in the wind...I used to shoot in a std 6BR but wanted the 200 fps more that the Dasher provided.

The 12 twist dasher and 65's I am running right at 3600 fps. Seems like a light load, but I don't have a psi guage or the app that gives you the psi.

EDIT... Went back and checked my records.......QL put my 65 grain load at 51,500 PSI (not cup), which is right in the powder puff catigory. Also ran the 58 grain to 40gr H335 and setteled on 38 grains at 3800 fps......65,000 psi according to QL
