8208 XBR?
#4
Thank you KMW1954

Grayfox, the almost 3000 fps were obtained with my 6 ARC using CFE223, 31 grains, in a 20 inch barrel, 87 grain V-Max bullet!!.
I never got such great velocities with the Grendel.

My brass is of various manufacturers but mostly Hornady: I understand that for reloading I should keep all my brass all the same brand, but I am not interested in "micro precision shooting"; If I hit my 18x18 metal plate at 400 yards, I am happy. I am not a competitor, just a casual plinker, hunter and (hopefully never) a home defender.

I downloaded a chart with all the various commercial powder burn rates. I am using it to cross reference with all powders I own to see if any of them might work in the 6 ARC. Like I said, I have lots of 8208 that I will no longer be using in the Grendel and just wanted to see if I can use it here.

I am also going to try BLC(2), Ramshot X terminator, TAC, and Varget. CFE 223 I know works very well and I love it. Just need other options as well.

I will let you all know what happens.

Thanks Grayfox!
