Are you going to seat to fit mag or single feed?
I used 2206H with them in my Sako (1 in 8").

if I have to I can deal to the mag to make them fit.
I havn't got that far yet as got to pick up the scope on sat and set up.
are you single feeding to get better accuracy?

I managed to get 75 Amax's to shoot out of my 1:8 223 Tikka, using 24.4gr of 2208 getting around 2750fps.
I posted this in the projects section a few weeks ago, extending my magazine for 75gr Amax's. http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...ine-mod-27848/

I did when doing load development, but the Sako extractor is a right pain if you are extracting an unfired round. The Tikka is better in that regards.
Plus you can mod the Tikka mag a bit to create more internal length, unlike the steel Sako mag.

I certainly got good accuracy, but ended up using 65gn Sierra Gamekings as my hunting load and 55gn VMaxes as my varmint round.

I have 2 t3s with 1:8" twist that both shoot.
We are using 2206h but I hear you will hey better speed with 2208 (iirc)!
Using CCI primers and ADI brass.
One rifle is 24 the other 24.2 as standard. M/S is 850 so not fast but handy

PS, I was getting 2715fps with 24.0gn of 2206H, Fed Match primers and weight sorted RP brass. My Sako likes mild loads.
Test loads seated to touch were 0.4 MOA, didn't find the sweet spot for distance to lands before I went to other projectiles.

Also I don't know the oal, but the rounds are just mag fit. Also unsure of jump, but I haven't bothered to check as it shoots well enough without mucking around anymore. (That's also the same reason that the suppressor I bought hasn't been fitted yet as I don't want to screw the load)
