    new imr and alliant powders

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

    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.

    Nope. Not me.

    But I have had a hankering to try some 8208 xbr. If I can ever find some.
    I'd rather be lucky than good, but I'd rather KNOW I'm good than HOPE to get lucky.

    I have two pounds of it for my Mk262 mod1 project. I got it at DSH .

    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.
