    2213sc vs 2208 for 7mm08 154ssts/162 amax

    Is either Better than the other when it comes to 7mm08? I’m new to the cal and have both on hand and it seems both are used so I’m wondering if one is better than the other? I’ll likely end up using both with how things are with availability wise but I’d prefer to put the effort into the better of the two if that is a known thing that I can find out before I start

    Greetings,
    AR2213C is far too slow for the 7mm-08.

    2208 works great and is my go to.

    This is a 15 shot development done today with a new projectile. Could easily call it done but will load few more steps to eek out all the speed I can.

    Bottom left is 41.2g 2208 with 162dm @2585

    I've used 2208 and the 162gr Amax for maybe 7-8 years now. Only going 2640fps but man, they are absolutely devastating in my 7/08.
