Load data for IMR 8208 XBR and the 22-250

[Strader61]

Found very little load data at the Hodgdon website for what I'm using (52 grain BTHP and 55 Grain Nosler bullets) link below.
Anyone have any other data for the 8208 XBR powder. Hard to find much. looked at books in stores and didn't even have it listed. Possibly not new enough reloading editions.

Try this (you're looking for Benchmark 8208): http://www.adi-powders.com.au/handloaders/rifle.asp?Calibre=22-250+Remington

The pressures should give you guidance for that action.

Thank you very good link. I always start at minimum on loads and actually seems more accurate.

Could you repost your results or how you like it after you try out the IMR 8208 XBR, I've been looking into that powder for my 22-250 and 243. I sent a Email to IMR asking about that powder, never heard back, so I decided to call, guy I talked to didn't have much info on it other than whatever cartridge I asked about he said it would shoot good it in. Like to see how it works for you.
