    I loaded a bunch up for blasting ammo. It didn't do anything special for me but I'd be happy to use it again if it's what I could find.

    I used it for a couple of years. H335 is more accurate for lighter bullets and burns cleaner so for I use that more than anything, but that's in 16" and 18" barrels so none of the flame issues other people have been reporting. I have been using XBR for 75's for DMR but would consider working up a load with CFE as I gather it's good for that. A fair number of guys get good results with it for 77 SMK's, but then again everything works well for that. Seems a lot of people like it in .308 too.

    As for a direct comparison vs. XBR I can say that XBR runs WAY cleaner if you're shooting suppressed. Depending on what kind of volume you're shooting in a day that could add up quite a bit.
