    2208 works well in all the 708 Tikkas I’ve loaded for with that bullet. They don’t need to be going that fast with those long slippery pills.
    2500 fps gets you plenty far.

    Lot of people forget that ADI2208 was made especially for the US team to win 600 yard competition shooting matches

    It is an exceptionally good powder choice
    McNotty and Micky Duck like this.
    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time

    You sure your not talking RL15?
    2206 was developed for the Aust army and the 7.62 round in the slr. It replaced 2201 which was not temp stable. 2208 2207, 2209 were released as commercial powders for reloaders in 78.
