    I found 2008 was slower but more accurate than 2206H

    49gn 2206H, Fed LR Match primer, Lapua brass, Barnes 130 TTSX, gives 3,100fps (actually, 10-20fps more) in my 20" Sako barrel. Very accurate with no signs of excessive pressure.

    I found 2208 slow in my 20".
    I will go 2206 when I next load TTSX.

    If its worth anything to ya I run 125 Nosler BT with 49grns 2206H going 2970 from a ~17in tube. Clover leaf groups. Have only shot a few things up close but very effective on all accounts. Makes a small splash on grader blade cutting edge out at 400yds

    125 SSTs group about the same just very "explody" up close - cheaper projectiles tho

    49grains h335 with 130ttsx. Haven't shot the load over a chrony but from shooting at various ranges it works out to be about 2750fps out of a 14.75 inch barrel. Good to 400yds.
