Thread: Whats your chosen .308 load?

150gr sst will work great as an all round load. When I had one AR2206h was my go to powder.

Ive bought some 150grain SSTs so will start there I guess. Cheers team

That's what I run in mine mate. 46.5 grains 2206h pushes them at 2751fps out of my 16 inch tikka. Very accurate out to 500m in good conditions. That's getting hot though so definitely dont start there. I'd suggest use the ADI reloading book as a reference

44gn's 2206H, 165 SGK or SST. Accurate as, and bang flop

Thanks to all the bros who shared their loads its a good start. Cheers

I use 2206h with 165gr bullets (hornady SPs or SSTs, and will try serria hpbt some stage this year too).
Those 130 ttsx look awesome.

150gr Sierra gamekings Norma brass 2206H powder 2830fps out of 18” Tikka.

Use to use 46.5gr 2208 with Sierra 165gr hpbt gamekings and get about 2550 but lethal bush round. Have a heap of speer 125gr hps that I ran out of the 308 @ 2984fps(16" bbl) which were hilarious on varmints. Can have them cheap if you want to reload

8 posters here used ADI 2206H powder. Food for thought.

It's the "go to" powder for .308 Win, that's for sure.

ADI2206H works!

2206h or 2208 with 165 sst works a treat at short and long range then Leigh 168 for subs over the dog.

��[/QUOTE @burtonator, what flavoured brass are you running with the Leigh's CF? I found the lapua wouldn't hold/seat them concentric. No probs with federal.
