Product Overview
IMR 8208 XBR is an accurate-metering, super short-grained extruded rifle powder was designed expressly for match, varmint, and AR sniper cartridges. As a medium burn speed propellant, XBR is ideally suited for cartridges like the 223 Remington/5.56mm, 308 Winchester/7.62mm NATO and the 6mm PPC.
Shooters will find IMR 8208 XBR yields max velocities and “tack driving” accuracy. Clearly, the competitor’s “choice” and the Varmint Hunter’s “dream powder.”
Made in Australia.
Available in 1-LB and 8-LB containers.

Simply amazing results. Live this powder. It’s been so scarce over the last couple years. So happy to see its availability. My 223 bolt gun performance has been utterly remarkable with this powder.

This product is very hard to find. I’ve put my name on notification list with 5 different reload suppliers. Wanted an 8lb container but had to buy what was available. After 9 months I was notified this powder was in stock. I got 4 one pound bottles. I use this to reload 167 grain Lapua bullets for my 308 rifle. Best powder I’ve found for this application.

I've had good results from this powder. Has been hard to find lately. I use it for my 556. I like it because I get the same results in all weather conditions.

Use this on a 6mm AR with 87 gr. Vmax works great.

Have been shooting the 6.5 Grendel for the last 5 or 6 years! Found 8208xbr to be the best powder available in my pump action 28in barrel grendel for super long distances.

5 Excellent Powder
Posted by Aaron G. on Mar 14th 2022
I converted to this powder when Varget was in such high demand a few years ago. It was a great decision. I predominantly use it in Service Rifle with great success. This is a competitive discipline using a 20" heavy barrel AR platform shot out to 600 yards. It meters great in a Dillon 650 or automatic trickler.

Great powder for my Rock River .223. Using a 55 gr. Hornady V-Max, getting great groups vs. other powders. This powder meters very well, very consistent speeds.
