Does that mean they used the superformance powder?

no it means they used a blend of powders for the caliber and projectile.

superformance powder they sell is optimized for more over bore cartridges. could still be worth a try but i haven't.

Really?
I find I'm not crunching till up to the 50grain mark of 2208.

150Accubonds.
47.4@2208= 2780-2820fps.
Acccuracy settled down during the shoot. No pressure signs.

130ttsx
50.4@2208=2850-2900fps. Too slow for me.

51gr 2208 fed magnum primer fed brass 130ttsx was 3000fps out of my old mans 18'' Rossi
51.6 3180 out of my Sako......pain to load tho drop tube and trickle it in.
H335 would be much better but I have lots of 2208

Am out of 130 ttsx so for now will load and use these 150 and 160 Accubonds.

Thanks for that.

47.8.gr of 2208 is all I can get in a case (lapua) 50 in a federal with a 150 gameking on top, havnt cronied any but in my remington best accuracy came with 45.5g (1.3 inch 5 round groups at 100m) so now that's all I use. Havnt a clue about speed but am on the list for the crony, but it tips things over ok. I think speed can be overrated.

I am sure my scales are slightly out at times. I loaded 15 of 150AB with 47.7 of 2208 and that wasn't full, at all.
I have definitely noted (at times), different readings when I double check my loads.
These are with the Lyman Pro 500.
And yes Speed is def overrated especially with certain projectiles like the Gamekings. These Accubonds are apparently going at 2800+\-20fps so neither here nor there but is only my bush gun and with an eye forward to the roar.
These shoot well, that's the important thing...

I get 3,100fps with 130 TTSX - 49 gr 2206H, Fed 210M. Pretty warm load but comfortably safe in my rifle with 20" barrel.

Has anyone else chrono these? They shot @ 1.5" grouping at 240yards today out of my Sako 308. Only had three left so inconclusive.

Danny, if you need a chrony I have one here you can use. Could arrange a sortie to the Tok shooting complex which is only two minutes from my place.

True?... I'm over there each week with mahi. I'd be keen as.
Thanks
