Wellllll in case anyone cares, I went out and did some testing.
I started at 22.8 then went to 23.0
As I suspected, velocity did increase marginally but pressure really increased, disproportionality to velocity. I was getting ejector swipes and very faint extractor marks at 22.8gr.
In the heat my pet load of 22.0 of 8208 gained about a 15fps increase. Pretty good for a 40degree increase in ambient (yesterday) to when I chronoed last (months ago at 65degrees).
So 22.8 yielded 2575 and 23.0 came in at 2,628.
So IMO an extra 100ish fps isn't worth the brass being questionable after that use. Also 22.0 was more accurate. So I didn't even try out the 23.2, 23.4 and 23.6. Anyone want these?
On another note, my pet load (22.0 of 8208) did fantastic at 800 yards. 10 hits in a row on 3moa of steel
Last but not least, the round isn't dropping much more than my pet load of 23.5gr of Varget and I have got crazy good accuracy out of the 8208. It only drops 1-2 moa more than Varget @1000 so looks like my 2 fav powders are still 8208 and Varget.
