Never tried 8208, I'm still all about 'lever

Has anyone not had good results with 8208?

I couldn't get better than 1.5 MOA with 77 TMK's and my Tikka.

Thanks I just picked up a Ruger Ranch and found a supply of 8208 but maybe I’ll wait on loading up on it. If one was going to try say three powders what would you suggest? 8208, TAC, and Lever?

Those three are definately worth a shot. I think I will try tac out in my AR soon.

H4895 was the ticket for me. Hodgon extreme line so more temp stable than TAC and Lever.

Funny you ask that, I am in the same boat and I personally decided and stocked up on those exact 3 as my top choices to try. Next on my list was/is Staball Match. Mind you I plan on throwing all loads with a Harrell’s custom 90 culver measure and that was a consideration with my choices.

You’re all over it. Lever and then TAC have always been the picks of the litter for me

Cfe 223, tac, and imr 3031 have all worked well for me

Well I’m off to the races. Picked up all three and a brick of 205M’s. Let the fun begin.
