Has anyone tried 4166 yet?
Supposed to be temp insensitive, copper reducing, and listed next to 4064 on burn charts..

Here is a burn chart

Also has anyone tried 8208 xbr?

I'm trying to see where it stacks up to varget, 4064,4895,re15....
I have seen data on hogdon site next to 4064.. ( the 4166)

A temp insensitive 4064 sounds real good...

Alliant has some new powder out as well temp insensitive re 23 and re 26
Here is a post on them.

Mapper - I use a load of 23.7 of IMR 8208 for Sierra 77 & 80 grain match kings. 8208 is a high energy powder, work your loads up carefully.
