Rifle is ABolt II These are my first 30-06 reloads. I bought these bullets on a whim thinking they’d be fun to try out, and had some 8208XBR that I hadn’t tried either. Only data I found (that was close) was on Hodgdon's website with 110gr Hornady bullets. I called Sierra to verify my ladder and was told I was good to go and not to worry about possibly going a bit over 56 grains with these bullets. So, my ladder started from 53.6 up to 56.4. Here are my results, constructive comments are welcome. Chronograph info in the pics. Thanks for reading. 8208 XBR Sierra 110 gr HP COAL: 3.170 Trim Length: 2.484       |

I'm getting ready to load some 77 gr noslers with imr 8208 xbr to find the sweet spot.
The 54.2, 55.4, 56.4 look really good to me |

Looks good ! Are you sure that's not a .308 you are shooting ? The '06 and those 110's are not supposed to group that tight

56.4 for the win! At this point, I personally would load a batch at 56.2, 56.4 and 56.6 and see if it tightens up any. This would also let you know if the 56.4 group was repeatable.
