Thread: 2206H /7mm08/ 120+140g projs?

anyone shootin 2206h thru 708?

Anyone doing the above? looking at 120/140 Nosler BT's and 2206h 20" tube (as I have the powder already)

2208

I'm using H335 with 110gr TTSX in my 18" 708. Getting 3000 fps out of it. H335 is a little faster than 2206H.

H335 is also less common and a bit harder to source

QuickLoad says 43gr with the 120s for 2800, and 39.5gr with the 140s for 2600 from 20", moderate peak pressures.

Tried 2206h with 120 bts. Grouped around an inch or so...45 grains 2208 1/2 inch. 16.5 inch barrel. 2800fps.

2208 for me to 3000 for 120 BT in a 20"

i use Belmont action rifle powder on 139 btsp 42gr getting around 2800 in a 19"

Thanks guys, I checked Quick load, seems the 120's are a better match for 2206H. Just bought some Nosler 120gr BT's to try. Will be shot out of a Mod 7 20" tube.

I used to use 2206h on my 7mm08 ive since gone to 284. But I was shooting shitty speer 145 grs at around 2750 - 2800 fps. My tikka t3 was cut down to about 18 inches. I think I could have got more out of it if I stuck with it and changed the peojectiles. Excuse the estimates I'm not home atm so can't give you exact info.

Actually could have been 2650 -2700 fps. And the 130 grs were 2750-2800 fps. Both groups could do half an inch if I was shootong right

Hodgdon use 2206h for "youth loads" ive made some up buy havent tested yet

Yeah I am with 150Gr bullets getting just under 1inch group with a minimum charge of 37gr.
I haven't had a chance to load test yet but I recon I can get it better.
