Thread: Hodgdon /ADI BM8208 data

Varying light levels as well as small data sets makes it hard to draw solid conclusions….
I recall @Mathias found higher pressure for similar velocity in the 6x45 with 8208 vs 2206h

Almost right Nick. It was IMR 8208 & H335 I found with equal loads, the 8208 was showing higher pressure signs & almost identical speed in the 6x45.

I am using the 8208 in my 20" 1:12 223 with 52gr Targex for 3245fps. I was expecting a bit more speed than that, but accuracy is superb, so not hunting down anymore fps.
