I have been getting great results with 8208xbr useing a 69gn NCC.my charge is 24.0gn's with a CCI 450 primer all in Lapua brass.the C.O.A.L. is 2.290 and out to 300 yards I have been getting 1.5 inch 15 shot groups.but at 100 its just one ragged hole.so fare at 500 with bad wind I can get a 4-5 inch group with 15 shots.just need a good wind free day to see if the group will get any better at 500.
