    Greetings Again,
    The test mentioned included the chronographing of .308W loads with 3 different projectile weights and a total of 5 different powders which I wrote up for an article in HZ Guns and Hunting. I tested AR2206H and AR2208 with the 150 grain Hornady Interlock, Winchester cases and 44 grains of both powders. Velocities were 2,675 fps for AR2206H and 2,560 fps for AR2208. Bullet impact varied a little with the 125 grains shooting 30mm high and the 165 grain 50mm right compared to the 150 grain at 60 metres (a convenient range for chronographing on my range. Screens were at 3 metres. The article was on the NZ Guns online platform and might still be available through their facebook page. All loads shot well bar the usual odd flier.
    Regards Grandpamac.
