Thread: getting going - 308

My 16" 308 likes SST's in all formats.

I have only used Lapua/fed match/ADI2208, never had a reason to change.

I use the 150 NBT data in the ADI manual for the 150's use 165's a lot too. My rifle shoots really,really well with the lower loads and 45.5g 2208 gives me 2640 average but I have loaded over book max with no pressure signs whatsoever apart form sharper recoil (not chronographed).

I'm using ADI 2208 I know a lot run the 2206/H in short barrels I would like to hear more about why?

I know we are all doing our own thing and every rifle is different (normal rhetoric about load development, safety etc) manual shows better velocity in both pistols and rifles with 2208 over 2206?

Is there real world testing/data locally to suggest one is better than the other?

Cheers
