    2208 vs 2206h for .308

    I've been tinkering with a load for my tikka .308 (11in twist)

    I've done some preliminary tinkering with a load using 155gr sierra tmk and discovered;

    1. 2206h is giving far better velocities but worse groups. Best being 1 moa but average velocity is 2800.

    2. 2208 is giving cloverleaf groups and velocity is around 2600. My cases fill up before getting close to max load (adi reckons 47gr).

    What would you go with?

    Accuracy over velocity?
