Just as an interesting side note to Hodgdon's propaganda.........in 2010 they introduced IMR8208XBR

"New for 2010 "no target to small".........."total benchrest dominance", Enhanced thermoballistic performance....

The benchresters tried it for a couple months.......gone never to be seen again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure if it even won a match !!!

I use Hodgdon's powders more than all others combined, so I have zero problem with their products, they just lie a lot in their advertising !!!!!!!!!!!!!
