Thread: A few 308 questions.

If you can get hold of AR2206H you can't go wrong. It's probably the most versatile powder you could get. It might not be the best max velocity but it's not going to be far behind whatever would be. Not enough to concern you.

Loading for mates is ok so long as you full length size cases to basically return the case to in spec so it's not going to jam.
Stick to moderate loads and shouldn't be a problem.
No need to go above 150gn. Those Speer 125gn TNT suggested by Micky Duck come in packs of 500 reasonably priced.

Using AR2206H can be used as low as 60% of max charge weight so you can load down for small blocks or supressor use of you like.
It's also able to be used across a wide range of cartridges making it versatile.
