Well, with all the hullabloo about 8208 I went in with a friend and got an 8 lb jug. Today I loaded from 27.8-29.2 grains in .2 grain increments. 123 AMAX, Lapua brass, CCI 450's, 2.270 COAL, and 1.5 thou of neck tension. I only got chrono info on the 29 and 29.2 charge weights, and they were 2605 and 2630 FPS average respectively. I hit a node on the head at 28 grains, and I and pretty close to another one at 29.0 grains. I'm glad it all worked out, because I have 8 lbs of the stuff. If it works as well as I have heard with 155's in the 308, I'll never use Varget again...
I am also going to use my AMAX load to find a 123 Scenar load as well; a 2600 FPS+ Scenar would be the cat's ass...
As a side note, the upper I'm using is a SAC build with a 20 inch Krieger bbl.
