Who uses BM8208 for F standard and tr?

Post by Longranger »

I'm wondering who uses BM8208 for 155gn loads in 308. Any spiking issues?

I have heard some conflicting info about it.

Not in 308 currently, but in a 6BR they fairly hook out a 55gr nosler ballistic tip on foxes! at low pressure too! Love the stuff for varmint powder as it meters so well.

I did try it with 155gr SMK's and HBC's in a 26" 308 barrel but it was no better than 2208, and I think the accuracy node was a bit smaller.

Bought a jug of 2206 at the earlier good price when ADI released some last year, so don't need to try 8208 yet.
