I finally concluded the testing of 8208 powder.Here is the stats from the test.
Rifle- CZ Varmint in 223
Load- 26.4 grains worked up to slowly
Bullet- Hornady 50 gr. SP
The first 4 shots are coming in under 1/2". In all the testing, the fifth shot is a flyer just out of the group but into 1". Went out this morning, and shot less than 3/8" in four shots. Since I will use the gun for shooting chucks, the gun will be fine with this load. I rarely shoot over 3 shots in and as long as the groups stay under 1/2" for 3 or 4 shots.
This load is 6/10th of a grain over max. Approach with much caution as Swifty had pressure at 25.8 grains, the listed max.
