I have just loaded up some 308 168gr Berger VLD with IMR8208XBR I am shooting them through a Remington 700 with a 26" bbl that started out as an XPS model. When I get a chance to test them out I will let you know the results an the load I found to work for me if any. I have heard that 308 is the top of the realm this powder is good for but have read good results on other forums especially for consistency in different weather conditions so I thought I would give it a try.

Here are a couple of good links the first an interesting history of the powder and the second results from a guy like us.
