    130ttsx powder options

    Hey guys plan on trying the 130ttsx from a 20" 308 but only have 2208. What powder should I be using ideally? Think I know where some h335/w748 is but if I cannot get it how will 2208 be?
    Regards

    I would have thought 2208 would do the job pretty well or 2206h that's what I used in my 20" 308 bergara with 125gn accubonds

    2208 will work you just wont get enough in to get optimum velocity.....using a magnum primer helps.
    Ideally h335 is the go or 2206h or cfe223
