I use 8208 and Benchmark in a Tikka T3 light .223. With a max load of benchmark, I can get a 50 gr Blitzking up to 3,344 FPS. With 8208, a max load with a 55 gr Blitzking gets me up to 3,167 FPS. Both at max loading produce very accurate results. I know the bullets weights are not the same...

25.0 gr of Varget worked for me in a M4 type AR. Can’t vouch for velocity. However, it did punch through a deer shoulder my daughter shot years ago.

If anything, I love the fact that Sierra packages them in boxes of 100. Nosler’s box of 50 is a joke.

Annealing is key to accuracy.

Try XBR 8208 in place of Varget. You will not need to compress your charges.

Giraud trimmer fixes all those concerns.

I use that bullet in a 7 twist. 23.2 gr of XBR 8208 gives me the best accuracy.

Awesome! Caliber?
