Been using AR2206H as have 20" barrel using 155 palmas, 168 ELDs,175 tmks while good results can't seem to repeat the gold match which piles ontop of each other.
Thinking of maybe trying imr4064 as yanks think they use that, 8208 or maybe 2208?

IMR is one of the great .308 powders got some very accurate loads using it years ago, 8208 is a little fast for top velocity 2208 too slow for a short barrel another good powder is IMR3031
