I have played with multiple different powders, almost had settled on 2520, but have had awesome results with 8208. I have fired 130gr Accubonds, 120gr Ballistic Tips, and 123gr Amax bullets with it. What is really cool is that I am getting almost identical points of imp

Rifle - Les Baer 20" barrel.
120gr Ballistic Tips
28.5gr
Average velocity - 2531 fps.
5 shot groups under .5"
123 Amax
28.5gr
Average velocity - 2524 fps
5 shot groups under .5"
130 gr Accubonds
27.5gr
Average velocity - 2387fps
5 shot groups .75"
I am getting better groups with 8208 than I was with 2520 and I really haven't had to sacrifice any of the velocity that you get with 2520. I am buying 8 pounds and sticking with it now.
