8208 XBR in .30-40 Krag?

[selmerfan]

I've got a half pound of 8208 XBR that I don't have a really good use for. I'm thinking about using it to push 311299 boolits in my .30-40 Krag barrel on my Stevens 44 1/2, but I can't find any data for it. I know my Krag likes this boolit with Varget and 4895, and the 8208 burn rate is right in that ballpark. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks!

According to Quickload, the 30-40 fired in a 26" barrel using a 311299 GC and sized to .311" and loaded to 3.089" COAL:
Using IMR8208
24.0grns / 1525fps / 13262psi / 51.6% case fill / 83.88% total burn
26.0grns / 1641fps / 15925psi / 55.9% case fill / 87.71% total burn
28.0grns / 1757fps / 18949psi / 60.2% case fill / 91.02% total burn
30.0grns / 1870fps / 22385psi / 64.5% case fill / 93.81% total burn

Awesome! Thank you!!! That's right in the ballpark of where I was looking to start, based on my use of Varget with this combo.
