    2206H or 2208 for 7mm08 ?

    Hi everyone,
    I am doing some reloading test loads and wonder what other people use or prefer for hunting loads.
    The load is for a Tikka 595 in 7mm08, 16' barrel (suppressed) barrel twist 1:9. Projectiles Nosler 120grain BT,cases Winchester, standard Federal primers.
    I used already Win748 (45.5grain) with ok results (3/4') but fairly slow (2820fps) and CFE223 powder (49.4grain)= 3000fps but groups around 1.5'.
    What results do you get with similar set up and 2206H powder or 2208 powder or Win760?
    The loads would mainly be for shooting goats to max. 350yards.

    I also got some 130grain Speer SP Hot Cor projectiles to try..and BM2 as well as a small amount of H8208 powder.
    Cheers for your help
