Thread: 8208, 168 eldm 16.5” barrel 8 twist questions re max charge etc

Greetings,
The GRT predictions seem to be out of line with the Hodgdons data. The very early BM8208 appears to be somewhat faster than later production based on my chronographing in the .223. Chronographing data with the .308 and BM8208 showed a good match so this appears to be the slower stuff. Your velocities seem to be in line with the Hodgdons data or perhaps a little faster. I would tend to take the Hodgdons data for the .308 as more reliable in this case.
