All of the above, plus Benchmark.....

I'd bought 8lbs from Powder Valley a few months ago, and have used it for some loads, with overall good results in terms of accuracy. I'm getting ready to leave for NM this week for a three day coyote hunt and needed to decide on my .17Rem load for my AR. It came down to W760, Benchmark, IMR8208 and...

I've got a 77 MKII heavy barrel that's real shooter.....bought it when they first came out....great value for the $$. Is the one you're talking about one of these? It's the target, varmint format....gray barrel and action. I wouldn't hesitiate....and I expect some more folks will chime in shortly wi...

What JoeO said.....

RL10X and IMR8208 have been good in my rifles...esp with 39gr SBK and 35gr Bergers......

Looking forward to your field reports....and pics!!

Always eager to try the latest powder, I bought some from Powder Valley last year.....I've used it so far in my .223 AR, .17 Rem and .257 Roberts. I haven't run any of it over the chronograph so have no velocity data to report. I was happy with the accuracy in the .223, but not so much with the .17 ...

I've got a Tikka 595 in 17 Rem with a heavy barrel. I've ordered a .17 barrel from Shilen, and plan on having my local gunsmith re-barrel the Tikka to 17/204. I would like to rent or buy a reamer that's been lightly used....or failing that I'll need to order a new one. gtw217@gmail.com

Congratulations to you and to Colton!!!

It's never too long-winded when you've got a great story to tell, and pictures to share!

Thanks for posting.....

Terrific photos and great story: love that "shining like a diamond in a goat's collar!!!"

Thanks for posting....I've bought some CFE but have only used it for my .223AR.... I've been very satisfied with IMR8208, but am one of the guys who just has to try pretty much everything that comes down the pike! :roll: FWIW, the Hodgdon online data site reflects well under a 1% variation from 8208...

I bought an 8lb jug from Powder Valley a few weeks ago....and so far have only loaded it for my .223 AR....and looking forward to using it for my 204's and 17 Rem's.....

When I saw the question, I didn't even have to think about it....

TOO MUCH

Just more evidence that this bozo has got to be a one term president!

BK: 26.7gr under a Hornady 60gr Vmax, Rem 7 1/2 primer, Win brass......and it may not be very important, but I treat all my bullets with WS2....
