Nosler varmint 32gr bt loads with imr 8208 xbr

[Simomac]

Hi all, I'm having a lot of trouble sourcing any load data for 32gr nosler varmint ballistic tips using benchmark 8208, which is our Aussie ADI equiv. of IMR 8208 xbr. The nosler page I can find doesn't list this powder. If anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. I can only find hornady vmax data..... Tempted to just use it, what are your thoughts on that? I would much rather find the correct data though.

Hi. When you log in, go to the search box on top of page & type in IMR 8208. There is 273 matches that these guys are talking all kind of different bullets & load weights including your 32NBT. Tomorrow when I get to my shop, I'll send you book listings. I've found some really great loads for my rifle using info from some of these posts. Good luck to you.

My go-to load with those bullets is:
22 Grains of LT32

Not the fastest, but deadly accurate w/.204

IMR 8208 doesn't have a Thales (ADI) equivalent, it IS an ADI powder! We call dried grapes, raisins. You call them Soltanos, but they are the same thing.

As for using the Hornady data for the Nosler, they are SOOO close, as to be irrelevant. Do proper load work-up, and fear not.

Imr 4198 21 gr for accuracy. Right on the nosler website under load data. Whole bunch of powders and gr options
