IMR 8208 was very accurate at 25.8gr in a 1x9 twist Savage bolt, but produced only about 3,140 fps for me.

I shoot that combo out of BHW barrel. I have shot lots of charges. Everything has been shooting very well. I find best accuracy around 24-25.5 grains. Here is a recent group. Not the best but I always get a flyer. It's usually me...Jason

Here's the load I'm shooting in my CZ 223 ultralight predator: 25 gr IMR-8208, Berger 50 gr HP Match Varmint, Rem 71/2 Primer. 100 yard targets.
Notice the difference in group size reducing the load from 25.5 grs to 25.0 grs

Here's pic of a 100 yd 5 shot group using IMR 8208 XBR in my Savage 111 22-250. The load is 35.5 grs 8208 and a Berger 52 gr HP Match Varmint bullet....a ragged one-holer. 8208 is amazing
