Has anyone used 2206H with the 150gr ELDX in a similar-ish setup? If so, where do you think a safe starting point would be for development and what velocities were you getting?

Cheers guys, appreciate the help.

Greetings,
The .308 data in the Hodgdons pistol data section should be your go to info. They have used a 15 inch barrel so you should get around 60 fps more velocity in your barrel than listed or a little over 2,700 fps. The loads are the same as those for the 24 inch barrel. The projectile in the data is the Nosler BT which should be very close to your ELDX.
