I tried this film with a dark orange filter, since I didn't have a dark red or a IR filter. I shot it with my M6 set to 400 iso. I stand developed in rodinal for an hour. Long story short, I would like to try this film again with the proper ir filter to try to get some white greens. Also, I would not use rodinal next time as it came out very grainy. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a developer?

I don't load in complete darkness, and have zero problems. If you don't use a IR cut filter your results will not be IR dramatic, more like TriX. I use HC-110 for development but that is with 120.

I did load it in dark, but not total darkness, and I did have some light leak issues on the first 3 frames.

Nice set Warren! ISO around 3? my M6 only goes down to 6 if that is what u mean.
I will try your 1:50 mix. It looks like you were shooting 120 though not 35?
 
I second HC110. Efke makes IR820 in two variations: with anti-halation and no a-h coating. The one without the opaque backing is called Efke IR 820 Aura, and it has more of the look of Kodak HIE film. That one you should load in darkness, because any light that gets through the felt lips of the cassette will bounce around the entire roll.

Here is a picture shot on Aura with a #29 filter:

Very nice photos on your blog, I like the mood you got with the orange filter.

I have also shot IR820 in 35mm and developed it in Rodinal 1:50 with good results.

One thing to watch with this film is to not under expose it. I'm not sure how the metering/ISO settings will work on your M6 with an R72 filter installed but starting at f/16 for 1 second should work on a sunny day. For handheld use that would translate to f/2.8 for 1/30.

Nice Chris, I have a couple dozen rolls of IR820 but haven't tried Aura. I see I will have to this summer...
