Benchmark or Varget---Opinions

My 16" with 55gr hornady sp
25.6 benchmark 2900fps
25.3 imr8208 2851
Both of these gave me almost identical groups,with about an inch difference in poi. (low left with 8208) with benchmark being zero. I use 8208 for the so-callled temp. stable.

They are both temperature stable... you can pick the one you like and stick with it.

Thanks catshooter I haven't heard much about the stability of benchmark as compared to all the talk about 8208.

They are the same.
 
Use 24.7 grs of Benchmark and 55gr NBT's in my 223 NEF....a one holer at 60 yards...(my backyard)....runs along at 3050 avg fps....a real coyote killer...!! I have been using Benchmark for years...tough to beat.
