          I like it for hunting but I've done very little accuracy development with it. I'm loading 27.5 gr of 8208 I think.

            I may give these a try with some CFE223 and PP-2000-MR.

              I was at Bi-Mart today and saw them on the shelf, I got a box and should have some data to post by Saturday. The powders I have on hand are: CFE223, H414, PP-2000-MR, LeveRevolution, RL-15, Varget, and 8208 XBR. Do you have a preference?

                Not to hijack thread but i wouldnt mind some data on cfe223, RL15,Varget and 8208 XBR that's what i have on hand. I am mainly interested in the 129 sst because of price and respectable b.c. And seems like decent hunting bullet. Any data would be much appreciated.

                  I have on hand 8208. And cfe223 but I'll buy what ever works best. Thanks for the effort. I stopped at the range today to try some loads of 8208 but the range was busy, tomorrow maybe.

                    I've also got CFE223 (on the way), 8208, and AA2520. I'll reload and shoot (and post results) if I can get some good load data. AA website only lists BL-C2 on the Rev 2 load data.
