I am going to be recieving 2lbs. of 8208 XBR in the next couple of days. I am going to try this powder out on several of my hunting rifles starting with the good old 30-30 and the FTX bullet from Hornady. I am curious to hear from anyone that has had any experience with it (not caliber specific) for hunting loads. Being that it is supposed to be so temp insensitive I thought this would be a great place to start with this powder. I do see temp ranges from single digits to mid 60's during my hunting season.
I will be hunting whitetail,hogs,coyote,bobcats and possibly bear if one happens to wonder near.
Any info. or experience will be appreciated.
