    @PommyMcPomFace your experience is my biggest concern with developing a load for the 208. The calculations reckon it’s good (well on the borderline of good and potentially unstable) but reality could and probably is going to be a lot harsher than I’m hoping for. Worst case if the first ladder starts going sideways I’m going pull the remainder rather than seeing if they “settle” at a higher velocity. Thinking I might also leave the suppressor off for the first ladder.
    @NewbieZAR good to hear they killed well even at the lower muzzle velocity.

    Cheers for all of the responses team. Definitely given me a lot to think about. Won’t be being overconfident and buying that 100 box of 208’s now haha. Will buy some samples from gunworks (or “borrow” off mates) of the 168,178 and 208 ELDM’s and report back on how development ends up going.
