Not ADI but its easy to get, BLC2 works well in shorter barrels. You would get close to 2800 fps. I do with my 20".
Cheers Tahr
I will PM you my load when I get home just in case you decide to use it.Quote:

2208 is a great choice,in a 24"barrel 43.6gr 139 interlock @ 2750fps, bit pedestrian and can achieve speed up to 2900fps/45gr but really accurate in my rifle. I presume ADI powder is available RE 15 works pretty good as well.
Cheers.
Same, (my son not yours)Quote:

I'm using 2208. 19" barrel on my 708.
No idea of speed - never had the use of a chrony - but shoot 43 grains in R-P brass behind a 139gr Interlock. Seems to group okay - 3 under an inch at 100 metres - I'm not a great shot but can do this regularly. I also reload the 120gr Nosler ballistic tip - exactly the same powder load (because I'm lazy?? :P) and it groups just as well if not better. It does shoot to a different POI (about 6 inches at 100m) but I know what the scope changes are....so not too bad to change between loads and only need to poke a couple down the tube to verify all's okay.
Just loaded him up the test loads last night. 2208 with various charge weights behind 140 Nos BTs :) R-P brass too from memoryQuote:
