    After a nice tea and as much of the world news as I can tolerate I have returned. I have dipped into my .308 loading notes and a Pet Loads article by Brian Pearce in Handloader lists 43.7 grains of AR2208 as max with the 178 grain ELDX. Both Brian and Hodgdons used Winchester cases which are close to the Hornady cases that you are using for weight and capacity. His velocity in a 22" barrel was 2,586 fps at 43 grains.
    Regards Grandpamac.
