It'll fit nicely in my stash if you don't want it.
It's a little faster than varget or h4895

Surplus,
Jerry, I've got three flavors of 8208's here...IMR 8208 'pull down', some other type of strange 8208 that predates the 'pull down' 
and the latest XBR8208. They're different based on what I see when cleaning but all seem to act the same for burning rate. A bit quicker than 748 and slower than 4895. In my stuff, it's about like Benchmark.
But I don't use it in a competitive PPC-ish BR rig so can't offer anything on tuning, etc.
Good shootin' -Al

-AlJerry, the lots I have act like 133 but do not perform the same. They both get hot around the 30 grain area but I have never chrono'd them. Seems like the 8208 likes it a little less hot in most cases compared to 133. If I recall correctly 28.5-29.1 worked in most 6ppc loads.
