also similar 123gr hpbt with XBR8208 again both with Hornady cases- just changing primer Fed205 to Fed205M changed max by 1.5 grains? just caught my attention as strange.
Also,some of the data on the Hodgdon site lists the max load with H335 as having a max load of 28 grains where other data puts it at 30 grains as the max. For the same size bullet.
In general, there is so much load info in the 6.5 Grended Reloading Handbook that it would be sufficient to use the Reloading Manuals as the sole source of info.
I also find that primer info interesting. I have a lot of Federal GM205MAR small rifle match for ARS, they are supposed to be like the CCI military primers that prevent lite primer strikes.
