    Greetings @Jukes and All,
    The 168 grain ELDM is likely to give pressures and velocity broadly similar to the 168 grain Sierra but may take up a bit more space. The Hodgdon/ADI data is very close to what I achieved in my .308 once barrel length and charge are adjusted for. You should be able to achieve about 2,600 fps with 46 grains of AR2208 and about 50 fps less for 45 grains which may fit in the case a bit better.
    Happy loading Grandpamac.
