Sounds like some one has a closet, not a gun cabinet..........

It's the Toyota camry of the firearm world.

+1 for the 140 BTs...good accuracy and knockdown

If its chopped and suppressed, use 2206h rather than the 2208 but both will work

i use 139 sst with 42gr 2206h factory length under 1/2 inc no worries for me

Same load as pop shot 0-500 sorted

Specific benefit of 06 vs 08?

2206H is faster burning than 2208 and goes well in shorter barrels.

I've just ordered 2206h and 120gr BT. for my 20" 708 howa,

That Load that Popshot mentioned is a winner ,tryed with 2206h and 2209 with varying sucess ,,,with 2208 seems to be the sweet spot with a std length tikka

Is 120gr better for short range? I'm trying to decide on a projectile for mine I shoot 5m - 400m.
