I went in to McBrides in Austin during lunch and low and behold there was 1lb of 8208XBR on the shelf.

It is listed by Hodgdon as the next powder faster than H4895 so it may work well in the 257TEDNE+P+ using bullets over 85 grains.

H4895 responds well in warmer weather using bullets from 85 to 110 grains, being just a tad to fast for the 85 grain bullets. So I expect it to work well with the 88 grain BIB bullets as long as it is filled half way up the neck or even compressed.
