Thread: Got any reloading data for 204 Ruger and 308 using AR2208 powder?

46gr of 2208 and 150gr pills is a good start with the 308... and what I used to use with the corelokts

Different brands of brass will have different capacities so different preasure with the same load. The books/ Web are generaly safe max loads but with thick low capacity brass and a tight chamber max can be max.... on the flip side thin brass with larger capacity in a loose chambered rifle you can go over max by several grains... So watch loads published on forums etc.

Not saying peoples published loads are dangerous just pays to start lower and work up

The last 308 loading I did was with the 168 amax with Hornady Match brass and 46.5gr of 2208..... Shot real well but in another brass that load may well be over the top.

Some of my loads are hot and if you run things hot you waste brass as the primers start to get loose in the case then start blowing..... If you want brass to last it pays to stay away from hot loads, I have hot loads but most of the ammo I load is in the doesn't streach the brass range as it get expesive replacing brass, especialy for the likes of the 7mm SAUM Norma brass
