That's some good information to have, thanks. I've seen similar concerns with 8208 XBR before, but not Benchmark.
As luck would have it, I was working with Hornady data for 123 gr bullets. Their max load is 27.1 gr, versus Hodgdon's max of 27.5 gr.
I found my best 3 shot group at 26.2 gr and groups less than an inch on up to 26.8 gr, all with very similar POI's.
