    Yes a lovely mix of coke and nitro.

    I must say 2208 and 2209 cover a lot of ground. Probably 2209 if I had to choose between the 2.

    I tried using 2208 briefly in a lee perfect powder measure, and found due to the size of the stick powder that it metered like a dog. Is 2209 any better?

    Yeah my lee meter hated it, used to break grains, 2209 not so much. I use an Lyman Auto Powder Dispenser now so no problem.
