2206H vs 2208 for 185gr Berger jugs in a 308

Post by SunnyCoast 5r »

I would gratefully accept some views on which powder to use with some Berger 185 juggernaut target pills...I will be using Lapua large primer cases and a 29" 1:10 twist barrel.
Thanks

2208 and try .010 jump
I would start LR cases at around 44.0 gr and work up?
Target velocity if possible around 2820 fps?

Thanks Shane. Looks like some 2208 on the shopping list! The fun begins in a few weeks time for some development. Haven't finished mounting the scope yet (or finding my reloading bench for that matter).

I look forward to your results?
Been wondering if you have been able to get out and begin a load program?

Agree with Shane's comments here, although I would add I think that you may ne behind the pack using LR brass.
