Yip been there - tried that. Stick to 2209 or RL17 - much better velocity. The only time I think I'd entertain 8208 would be if you were loading say the 162gr Amax to mag length then I'd give that powder a try as so much powder space has just been eaten up by bullet way back into the powder column. It was accurate in my long throated 7mm08 but slower than I wanted for a hunting load.
