About this powder
IMR 8208 XBR is a ball-type benchrest powder delivering extreme accuracy potential in .223 Rem, 6mm BR, and .308 Win. The "XBR" designation stands for "Extra Ball Round" — its ball shape gives it exceptional metering precision from a measure, reducing charge-to-charge variation without manual trickling.
