    .308 win powder choice

    After 30 years of using WW748 for my .308 loads I’m having to use an ADI powder.

    In a 20 inch barrel with 165 gn boat tails the first sweet spot / accuracy node with 2208 lies between 43.5 and 44.5 gns. Velocity range across these and 44 gns is at 2582 to 2587 fps.

    I can live with this velocity and am Pretty keen to drill down for accuracy now but wondering wether 2206h or AR8208 might give me a bit more fps.

    How do you find 2208 in your short barrelled moderated outfits with 165/168s?
