Tried some 8208 XBR with the 53 V-Max today.
Rifle is an RRA SS 16" Middy, 1:8
Loaded 24.4, 24.6, 24.8, 25.0
Started with 24.4, results were OK, but nothing to write home about. No pressure signs at all, still very rounded primers, so I jump ahead to the 25.0 load, Much better
I'm going to try 25.0 again and also move up .2 until I get to 25.6 or show pressure signs or accuracy goes south.
I'm also trying Sierra 65sbt and 40 V-Max with the 8208 XBR.
Just for referance: My standerd load for hunting.
