Thread: 18 inch 308 powder

With mag primers and 2206h I sent 125TNTs @ 2984 out of a 16.5" bbl.

Shit thats screaming. You must have painted flames on your barrel to make it go that fast!

Nah mate no flames just the urge to crack 3000fps haha. I never shot a deer with it but think I made a few bunnies disappear better than a magician. If I still had that gun would have probably changed to a harder bullet like an accubond etc in that weight class and used it to shock animals up close. Having re read what you are doing I think you actually have good speed for the bullet size and there is not real point to changing unless you change pill. Mate runs an 18" 308 with 168eldms going 2600 and in the last 3 years has killed well over 100 deer from right up close to 570yds. That speed is perfect for the bullet too as you don't want to drive them fast so maybe you could look at that? I would happily run 2208 in a 223 as well

Thanks superdriver. Would love to know the Superformance recipe thats for sure. Yeah I think Ill run with the old saying "if it aint broke dont fix it". CHeers mate
