Tried it when setting up the load I mentioned above, very slightly slower start load for start load compared to 2208 and showed pressure signs earlier than we expected in that combo (140gr pill). Ended up happier with the 2208 load so that's where we stayed and didn't try anything else. I think 2206H would be happier with the lighter pills and you might get slightly better performance there, but that's just my thought as I really haven't played with it enough to be able to state that for fact. Also, 7mm08 isn't one of my calibers so my loading for this is limited to two rifles and only setting up one load in each.
I have a half can of 2206H here and will have a play around with it in .308 shortly when I get some time off daddy duty, was struggling a little trying to get good performance out of 2208 in my rifle but I think I have an idea of why that is and if I'm right its not the powder thats the cause. Likely I'm going to run into the same issue I had with the 7mm, as I'm using 165gr pills in the .308 and it's likely to be over the sweet spot where 2206H is meant to play nice (light for caliber bullets in the medium case size).
