I bought a couple pounds of 8208xbr and am tickled with it.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

I'm running 27.0 with a 70 rdf. I didn't take my chronograph today but the ballistic program's prediction was bang on at 740 yds @ 3080 using a g7 of .211. I beat the crap out of a spot that was the size of a Hungarian partridge.
The last time I was seeing 12 fps spread, I came up .2 grains today the group @100 was in the .2's off the hood.

Right on. I worked up to 27.5 grains under a 75 Amax @ 3,140. Supposedly pretty temp stable.
