Anyone have a solid 223 load using IMR 8208 XBR, and the 50 gr zmax/vmax bullet?

I have shot a lot of IMR8208XBR through my 223's, In my rifles it works best with 62gr TSX and 65gr Sierra bt's. I have never got it to shoot that great with 50's
With 50 grainers my 2 favorite powders are Benchmark and N133

26 gr of 8208 shoots very well in two of my 223's.

I like CFE 223 powder, accurate, works fantastic in my Redding powder measure.
