I am expecting a supply of 8208 and wondering if anyone has tried it in a 204 or 6.8 and what recipes and results did you use and get.

Can't really help you but it is nice powder. Shoots great loading my .223 and .270.

Get some data and work up some charges good chance you'll find the sweet spot

What kind of velocity are you getting in your 223 with 55s

.204 -40 gr. V-Max/27gr 8208/BR4 Primer, super accurate, deadly on coyotes and wolves, accurate enough for headshots on gophers

It works great with the 39gr bk's with the 204. Also works well in my 243 shooting the 70gr b-tips.
