Thread: ADI 308 Projectiles / Load development

Interesting.. In my target rifle I'm running lapua brass and the OTM lapua scenars 12 thou jump 42.5gr 2206h and that's heavily compressed. 2960fps ish. I must have a very short throat if you guys can get 45gr into your loads.

I'm running 2208 45.5gn loads with 150gn FMJs OAL 56.46mm (4.88mm jump) and 44.5gn with 155gn Amaxes OAL 55.2mm (3.9mm jump) all Lake City brass. I sold off my Lapua brass, so can't check the case capacity. That's weird that your loads are compressed with 2206H.

They must be to ogive? Mine are at 2.850" OAL roughly.

Yep, measure my loads to ogive.

Yip, that sounds quite short.

Normal club loads with 2208 is 45.0, I started seeing some pressure signs around 45.5

For 155 Scenars I am using 44.5 2206h with no issues, my go-to long range load, used these out to 1200 @ Wairarapa superlongs, in comparison the 2208 loads were getting suspect above 900yds.

Switching to Dyers for next season, can't get any moe Scenars from NRA...

Really? why not? There was ammo orders done down here a few months ago through the club.

Bugger. Nosler customs I guess. I buy all my own anyway so I'll stay with scenars I think. May give the bergers a hoon to see if they'll work in this barrel.
