    No, but getting some to try for the .223. I dont know if I will see the benefits on paper but may do on the chrony? I just wanna try it. BMII has been excellent stuff for me so probably a waste of time.
    Do what ya want! Ya will anyway.

    Dad uses it in his .223. R93 is on the money with his thinking there. That reflects what dad sound in his. Velocity and accuracy was almost identical between BM2 and AR 8208 but the velocity spread was very much reduced using 8208.
