Originally Posted By: stick1CatShooter I couldn't find any reloading data for 8208 so called Hodgdon and they told me they had none for the 220 swift. So I started with 33 grains and 55 gr. blitzking at 3463 fps and worked up to 38.2 gr. at 3900 fps. I got my best accuracy at 36.5 gr.
and 3800 fps so stopped there as I was getting 1 hole three shot groups with that load.
I worked the up the 50 gr. blitzking to 38.5 grs. with 4011 fps but my rifle shot the best at 37.5 grs. and 3903 fps. My loads
showed no pressure in my rifle, that I could see. But I caution any one who uses this powder in their swift until data from from Hodgdon or some other company comes out with some .
I used a Oehler chrono set at approx. 12 feet from the muzzle. The temp. at the time of testing was in the lower 70s . Like I said
before these loads showed no pressure in my gun yours could well differ, use caution.

Good report, Stick.
